Biology 1.6 Describe the functioning of human digestive and skeletomuscular systems
Achievement criteria
The level of achievement you reach is decided by the way you answer questions or write reports. The key words are describe, explain, and discuss aspects of biology. From your answers the assessor will assess your understanding of the topics of the achievement standard.
Achievement
Describe aspects of biology relating to the functioning of human digestive and skeletomuscular systems.
This involves recognising, naming, drawing, giving characteristics of or an account of.
Make sure you can:
- Identify features of the digestive and skeletomuscular systems
- Use terminology related to the standard
- Describe aspects of structure or function of the two systems
Achievement with Merit
Explain aspects of biology relating to the functioning of human digestive and skeletomuscular systems.
This involves being able to provide a reason for how or why something occurs.
Make sure you can:
- Meet the criteria for achievement
- Explain aspects of structure and function for the two systems
- Use statements in the question to construct a relevant answer
Achievement with Excellence
Discuss aspects of biology relating to the functioning of human digestive and skeletomuscular systems.
This involves showing understanding as to how or why something occurs by linking biological ideas/principles. It may involve students in justifying, relating, evaluating, comparing and contrasting, analysing.
Make sure you can:
- Meet the criteria for merit
- Read the questions carefully and give full and relevant answers that link more than one idea
- Use bold words in the question to help construct a relevant answer that uses correct terminology.
