Summary
Zoology is the study of animal life, from cells to whole organisms. Students learn about animal anatomy, physiology, genetics, evolution and ecology. They also learn how to use scientific instruments and methods.
Zoology as a science
Zoology is defined. Its related fields are examined. Life processes in animals are discussed. Students make concept maps and investigate topics.
Chemical basis of life
Matter and its properties are reviewed. Essential elements in living organisms are identified. How these elements function is discussed. Students do word puzzles and case studies.
Animal cells and tissues
The structure and function of animal cells are studied. Unicellular and multicellular organisms are compared. Cancer cells and tissues are examined. Students do research and watch films.
Animal organ systems
The parts and functions of different organ systems are described. Developmental differences in animals are discussed. Students use models and go on field trips.
