Year 11 Biology - AstraX Education

Year 11 Biology Tutoring in NSW & Online

Transform content memorisation into sophisticated analysis – the difference between Band 4 and Band 6

Year 11 Biology punishes students who rely on memorisation alone. While they’re cramming facts, Band 6 students are mastering scientific analysis, evaluation skills, and sophisticated response techniques. Medicine and health science courses demand Biology excellence, but most students never learn how to think like scientists. Our program develops the analytical frameworks and exam techniques that turn Biology into a high-scoring advantage

Weekly Theory Lessons with Premium Booklets

Students receive expertly structured weekly lessons supported by comprehensive booklets. These materials are designed to help students become top performers by mastering core concepts step-by-step. We conduct regular assessments and provide live, interactive feedback to ensure every child progresses confidently.

Online Learning That Works.

Our online classes deliver the same (or better) results as face-to-face learning. No time wasted on travel, flexible scheduling, access to recordings, and consistent access to Sydney’s best tutors—right from your home.

Expert Teachers Who Know the NSW Syllabus

Our tutors are handpicked specialists who not only understand the syllabus but also know how to teach it in a way that clicks. Their experience and personalised approach make all the difference.

Term-by-Term Outline

Cells as the Basis of Life (Oct–Dec)

- This foundational module introduces students to the molecular and cellular components of life. Students explore cell structures, transport mechanisms, and biochemical processes essential to sustaining living systems.
  - Cell structure and function: Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, organelles
  - Membranes and transport: Diffusion, osmosis, active transport
  - Enzymes and biochemical reactions: Catalysis, energy transformations, photosynthesis and respiration
  Outcome:
  Students will develop a strong understanding of the biochemical and structural components of cells, forming a foundation for all future biological learning.

Organisation of Living Things (Feb–Apr)

This module explores how organisms are structured and how body systems support life. Students study multicellular organisation, transport systems, and the classification of life.
- Plant and animal systems: Gas exchange, nutrient transport, homeostasis
- Levels of biological organisation: Cells → tissues → organs → systems
- Classification and biodiversity: Binomial nomenclature, evolutionary relationships
- Focus on human body systems: Circulatory, digestive, respiratory
Outcome:
Students will understand how structure supports function in living organisms, and how biodiversity is classified and studied in biological systems.

Biological Diversity (Apr–Jun)

This module examines how life has evolved over time and the processes that drive diversity. Students explore natural selection, fossil evidence, and mechanisms of speciation.

Evolution and natural selection: Darwin’s theory, adaptations, selection pressures
Fossils and DNA evidence: Comparative genomics, evolutionary timelines
Speciation and genetic variation: Isolation, drift, and reproductive barriers

Outcome:
Students will be able to explain the processes that lead to biological diversity and interpret evidence for evolution using both historical and molecular data.

Ecosystem Dynamics (Jul–Sept)

The final term introduces ecology and environmental science. Students study how energy flows through ecosystems and how populations and environmental factors interact.

Food chains, food webs, and energy pyramids
Biotic and abiotic interactions: Predation, competition, climate factors
Ecosystem models: Population dynamics, ecological succession
Human impacts and conservation strategies

Outcome:
Students will gain the skills to analyze environmental interactions, interpret ecological data, and understand the dynamic nature of ecosystems.
