What will I learn?
The General Biology Course gives a practical introduction to pond ecosystems, covering things like environmental factors, food chains, cell activities, and quick changes in species. You'll set up basic field experiments, use hands-on sampling and lab techniques, examine ecological and genetic information using simple stats, and present your scientific results in clear, 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: DO, nutrients, chlorophyll-a, stats, and clear graphs.
- Assess rapid evolution: test genetic variation, plasticity, and selection in ponds.
