A Level Biology 7402 includes eight topics: Biological Molecules, Cells, Organisms Exchange Substances with their Environment, Genetic Information (variation and relationships between organisms), Energy Transfers In and Between Organisms, Organisms Respond to Changes in their Internal and External Environment, Genetics, Populations, Evolution and Ecosystems and The Control of Gene Expression. Many of the topics covered will be familiar to you from GCSE – for example cells, enzymes, the heart and lungs and genetics; however, we will explore them in far greater detail, learning how scientific knowledge has developed, as well as learning about the experimental techniques behind important discoveries. You will each be given access to the specification and specification checklists so that you know precisely what you need to know. There are many facts to learn and you will need to work independently to prepare for each lesson by reviewing your prior knowledge. You will be given notes which cover the main knowledge and understanding required for each specification point and then lessons will be spent discussing, modelling and expanding on these points, as well as doing practical work. You will use your textbook to reinforce the work covered in each lesson, by reading the relevant pages and doing the summary questions. You will be set homework based on past examination questions to develop your examination technique and you will be given regular tests to check your progress.
