Biology is an exciting science which could allow you to develop the essential skills that any good scientist should have, from planning experiments, making and recording accurate measurements and analysing data. Biology is the natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy. You will engage in a variety of learning activities during your study of Biology, including individual practical work, small group exercises, online research and presentation, whole-class teaching and peer assessment. Unit 1: Development of practical skills in Biology Unit 2: Foundations in Biology Unit 3: Exchange and transport Unit 4: Biodiversity, evolution and disease Unit 5: Communication, homeostasis and energy Unit 6: Genetics, evolution and ecosystems
Grade 7 in GCSE Biology or 7/7 in Double Award Science and Grade 6 in GCSE Mathematics.
As there is no longer a coursework element, practical skills will be assessed within lessons and the exams. The skills demonstrated within lessons will go towards the practical endorsement certificate which is either a Pass or Fail.
