Like Beethoven needed to acquire knowledge of musical chords
and scales before writing Für Elise
and Symphony No. 9, so do stage six students need to acquire basic knowledge of
distinguishing between biotic and abiotic factors, describing importance of cycles
of materials in ecosystems, and relating strategies to contamination of
unwanted substances (5.10a, 5.10b, 5.10c, 5.11.2a, 5.11.2c) before undergoing a
field experience of an ecosystem. Such a project takes their learning to a
deeper level, as paralleled with higher order Bloom’s taxonomy questions in stage 6 syllabus (8.2.1, 8.2.2).
The final report allows the student to marry the literacy skills of stage 4 and
5, with more detail and analysis as expected in stage 6. This is the symphony
of Biology.
