Introduction to Ageing, the Brain and Dementia

Foundations of Human Biology 1

Are you interested in human development and want to know more about the biological, physiological and cognitive changes occurring throughout the human life cycle? This subject offers a broad introduction to the principles of human development across the lifespan, providing invaluable insights into biological, physiological and cognitive development and changes as we age. Beginning with embryo development, you will explore aspects of development in childhood, adolescence, adulthood, old age and death. You will examine the impact of environment on development, building a well-rounded understanding of the multifactorial interplay between this and other factors that drive change as we age. You will be encouraged to hone your critical thinking and communication skills, as you review current literature and case studies to understand and solve problems relating to human development.

Dive into the processes that take place as we develop and age. You’ll cover biological, physiological and cognitive changes in the human life-cycle – spanning from embryo to childhood, adolescence, adulthood, old age and death.

Introduction to Human Development

This subject presents a general introduction to dinosaurs, their position in the history of life, along with their rise, fall and survival.Through a “dinosaur lens”, you will learn about major transitions in the history of life and their relationship to Earth Systems, such as plate tectonics and environmental changes.Completing this subject will provide you with a basic understanding of evolution as interpreted from the fossil record, where you will learn to explain the geological and biological importance of fossils. You will explore the life and times of dinosaurs throughout the Mesozoic Era, after which you will be able to distinguish between major groups of dinosaurs and use their anatomy to evaluate dinosaur growth, behaviour and evolution.This subject assumes no previous scientific studies and is suitable for commencing science students and those with a general interest in palaeontology, geology and/or biology.

If you’re new to science, studying dinosaurs is a great way to uncover key concepts in biology and geology. You’ll explore evolution and find out about fossils. Chart the rise and fall of the dinosaurs against the history of life on Earth.
