Lesmahagow High School Multicellular Organisms Multicellular Organisms National 5 Biology: Learning Outcomes Circle a face to show how much understanding you have of each statement: if you fully understand enough to do what the outcome says if you have some understanding of the statement if you do not yet understand enough to do what the statement says. Once you have completed this, you will be able to tell which parts of the topic that you need to revise, by either looking at your notes again or by asking for an explanation from your teacher or classmates. Remember to revisit these learning outcomes regularly to evaluate your progression! Each topic of biology requires you to learn and understand a variety of subject specific vocabulary. The words you will be expected to define are in bold. To help you learn these words you could produce a topic glossary or flashcards.
