| Learning Outcomes |
- Identify the species, comprehend the structure and function of living organisms - Identify cell, tissue, organ and organ systems and comprehend their functions - Comprehend the chemical contents of living things - Analyze the interaction of living organisms among themselves and among their environment - Learn the origin of liveliness, the process of development of living organisms and the term of evolution. In this concept, interpret the diversity of organisms - Create awareness of protecting living organisms and environment |
