Conduct an inquiry into the use of organisms to meet future needs
You need to run an inquiry into how we could use living things (organisms) in the future to solve problems or meet human needs. You'll pick a specific focus, find information about it, consider what external influences (like money, ethics, environment, technology) could affect whether this organism would actually work, and then present your findings clearly with conclusions about whether it's a realistic solution.
You conduct a basic inquiry with a clear focus, gather information, identify some external influences, and reach a conclusion about whether the organism could meet future needs.
You go deeper by comparing different viewpoints, evaluating how external influences actually affect the viability of your organism, and justifying your conclusion about whether it would work.
You provide a sophisticated analysis that weighs up findings against multiple external influences, prioritises which factors matter most, predicts both short and long-term impacts, and gives a well-justified conclusion about whether the organism realistically meets future needs.
