o Recognise that evolution is a core theme in biology
o Develop an understanding of natural selection
and how it contributes to the formation of species
and biodiversity
o Understand that evolutionary relationships are
summarised in classification
o Understand basic terms used in Ecology
o Understand the connection between Adaptation,
Natural Selection, Evolution and Ecology
