Biology

Biology is the study of living organisms and how they grow, function, and interact with their environments. It covers everything from tiny cells and microbes to plants, animals, and entire ecosystems, helping us understand life processes such as growth, reproduction, adaptation, and survival. Biology connects directly to everyday life—explaining how our bodies work, how food chains function, and why protecting the environment matters—making it an accessible and fascinating science for learners of all ages.

Families can explore biology together through hands-on, real-world activities that encourage observation and curiosity. Simple activities like gardening, planting seeds, or growing herbs help teach plant life cycles and ecosystems. Nature walks, bird watching, insect observation, or tide pool visits introduce biodiversity and animal behavior. At home, families can conduct safe experiments, build simple microscopes, watch nature documentaries, keep a nature journal, or visit zoos, aquariums, and science centers. These shared experiences make biology interactive and meaningful while fostering a deeper appreciation for living things and the natural world.
