Biology 3.2 Integrate biological knowledge to develop an informed response to a socio-scientific issue
Assessment
- This achievement standard is internally assessed.
- Assessment may involve development of a single report, an article for a newspaper or a presentation to an appropriate audience or other appropriate response. Some formats may limit your ability to show evidence of Excellence (eg a letter to an editor, or a PowerPoint presentation), therefore the processed and integrated supporting material will form part of the evidence collected towards the standard.
- The research investigation will be conducted with teacher guidance. This means the teacher is supporting throughout the investigation but the whole process will be student driven. The teacher guidance role allows for the provision of extra resource material and/or suggestion of sites for further research or possible new directions. You are still to research independently and to sift and evaluate any material in order to identify the most relevant information.
- The issue may be provided by the teacher or you may have to select the issue. Your selection must be approved by the teacher.
- You may be asked to keep all processed material and submit it at the end of the assessment. All processed material used in the development of your response may be used as evidence of processing, integration and evaluation.
