Year 11 Science - Reproduction Reality and Kiwi Kai

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Ever wondered why you have an upset belly while you are menstruating? Or why we have mammary glands and our babies drink milk? Learn about your body biology, the hormones that run your life and why it's so special being a wahine. This subject is your chance to learn, ask questions and get factual answers about your body - for your life. 

Did you know that your body is covered in bacteria? And that fungal spores float invisibly in the air? Learn more about the unknown world of microbiology. How microbes help us in biotechnology and food production. Find out about the conditions microbes need to survive and reproduce. Grow your own yeast cells, make Rewana dough, smell fermentation, see excreted gas bubbles, bake bread and taste the goodness that microbes help us experience.

Important please note: this course alone DOES NOT lead into year12 Biology.
