Microbes, Plants, Animals and Evolution

Discover the unity and diversity of life from the smallest microbe to the largest organisms. 

Understand how fundamental biological knowledge can be exploited in medicine and agriculture. Find out how organisms adapt and evolve to exploit different environments.

Learn about the good and bad microbes for human health and just where they might be lurking (possibly in your dinner!) What causes disease and how might we treat, prevent, fight it? Was Darwin right about evolution? Explore all of this and more.

This sub-theme is most suited to students who already have some scientific knowledge (eg studied a science subject at A-Level).
