This is a very interesting specification. Some parts build upon work covered at GCSE, other concepts are completely new. Each topic covers a different key concept of Biology and then considers its applications. The teaching of practical skills is an important part of the course and will be covered as a series of non-examinable practicals over the two-year course. Module 1: Development and practical skills in Biology Module 2: Foundations in Biology Module 3: Exchange and transport Module 4: Biodiversity, evolution and disease Module 5: Communication, homeostasis and energy Module 6: Genetics, evolution and ecosystems
a grade 6 in Biology or 7 in Combined Science
There are three papers and a practical endorsement. The practical endorsement is a non-exam assessment.
