This unit builds on unit 7C 'Environment and feeding relationships' and unit 7D 'Variation and classification'.
It draws on unit 8C 'Microbes and disease' and relates to unit 9C 'Plants and photosynthesis' and unit 9G 'Environmental chemistry'. It provides a foundation for unit 9D 'Plants for food'.
It also provides a foundation for work in key stage 4 on energy transfer through an ecosystem and its relationship to food production.
This unit provides links with unit 3 'Processing text and images' and unit 7 'Measuring physical data' in the ICT scheme of work, with opportunities for presentations on, and measurements in, the environment.
Unit 7 'Rivers - a fieldwork approach' in the geography scheme of work also covers fieldwork.
