Develop a greater knowledge and understanding of different areas of Biology and how they relate to each other; • Develop greater expertise in the area of practical work and the link between theory and experimental work; • Continue to enjoy and further develop a personal interest in the study of living organisms; • To appreciate how society makes decisions about scientific issues and how sciences contribute to the success of the economy and society The course content is split into six teaching modules: Module 1 – Development of Practical Skills in Biology Module 2 – Foundations in Biology Module 3 – Exchange & Transport Module 4 – Biodiversity, Evolution & Disease Module 5 – Communication, Homeostasis & Energy Module 6 – Genetics, Evolution & Ecosystems
The course builds on scientific knowledge and skills developed at GCSE. It integrates theory and practical work, and you will be required to communicate ideas effectively. The course has been written to follow on from GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy, GCSE Combined Science: Synergy, GCSE Biology or from IGCSE Biology; a Grade 7 or above at GCSE Biology or a Grade 7 - 7 Combined Science is recommended. It is important that you are interested in Biology and that you are keen to explore this subject in greater detail, welcoming the challenge of practical investigative work. Within A Level Biology, 10% of the marks available within written examinations will be for assessment of Mathematics (in the context of Biology) at a Level 2 standard, or higher, so it would be helpful for pupils to have achieved at least Grade 5 in GCSE Mathematics.
