What will I learn?
The General Biology Course provides a practical introduction to pond ecosystems, covering abiotic factors, trophic interactions, cellular processes, and quick evolutionary changes. You will plan simple field studies, use sampling and lab techniques, analyse ecological and genetic data with basic statistics, and present clear scientific findings in well-organised written reports.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Analyse freshwater cell processes: connect low oxygen, stress, and organism health quickly.
- Map pond food webs: measure trophic roles, algal blooms, and ecosystem services.
- Design pond field studies: plan sampling, controls, replication, and time series.
- Measure and interpret data: dissolved oxygen, nutrients, chlorophyll-a, statistics, and clear graphs.
- Assess rapid evolution: test genetic variation, plasticity, and selection in ponds.
