Living Systems

 

Yes, that picture looks complicated. It’s OK. You can’t learn everything in an instant, but are you curious about what makes life tick and want to learn more? Me too!

As an educator who is passionate for biology at all learning-levels, I start from the basics (or wherever you are) and build a working picture of life forms, how they are influenced by their surroundings, and also how they subsequently influence their environment. This includes the premises upon which our own bodies work.

Topics we investigate include:
