‘Life Sciences’ is the scientific study of living things from molecular level to their interactions with one another and their environments. To be accepted as a science, it is necessary to use certain methods for broadening existing knowledge, or discovering new things. These methods must lend themselves to replication and a systematic approach to scientific inquiry.
The methods include formulating hypotheses and carrying out investigations and experiments as objectively as possible to test these hypotheses. Repeated investigations are carried out and adapted. The methods and results are analysed, evaluated and debated before the community of scientists accepts them as valid.
in Grade 10, all four Knowledge Strands are addressed and serve to introduce learners to the four strands. The recommended Grade 10 teaching sequence for the four Knowledge Strands is:
- Life at Molecular, Cellular and Tissue level (Molecules to organs)
- Life Processes in Plants and Animals (Processes that sustain life)
- Environmental Studies (Biosphere to Ecosystems)
- Diversity, Change and Continuity (History of Life on Earth)
