Biology

Course summary

Biology is a fascinating subject that helps us understand the complexity of life on Earth. A level Biology takes a deeper dive into the mechanisms that govern living organisms and how they interact with each other and the environment. Students explore a range of topics, from molecular biology and genetics to ecology and evolution, and develop an understanding of how the different levels of biological organisation are interconnected. The course is structured around six key themes, each building on the previous one and exploring the different aspects of biology: Biological Molecules, Cells, Organisms, Exchange and Transport, Energy Transfer and Genetics, Evolution and Ecosystems. The course also includes a residential field trip to Pembrokeshire in the UVI, where students apply their knowledge and skills in a real-world context, explore the unique coastal habitats and ecosystems of the area, and develop their teamwork, problem-solving, and communication skills.
