Area+of+Study+1+-+Adaptations+of+Organisms

This area of study focuses on the kinds of environmental factors that are common to all habitats. Students investigate the adaptations of organisms that enable them to exploit the resources of their particular ecological niche. Adaptations are interrelated and can be grouped into structural, physiological, and behavioural categories. Students make connections between the conditions that operate in habitats, the tolerance range of organisms and the distribution of organisms. They examine individual and collective behaviours that organisms exhibit and relate them to an organism’s survival. Students undertake practical investigations into selected factors operating in habitats and adaptations of organisms to those habitats. They investigate techniques and technologies that monitor and record environmental factors and track the distribution of species.
