- To develop essential knowledge and understanding of different areas of Biology and how they relate to each other - To develop and demonstrate a deeper appreciation of the skills, knowledge and understanding of how science works - To develop interest in and enthusiasm for Biology, including developing an interest in further study and careers in Biology - To appreciate how society makes decisions about scientific issues and how the sciences contribute to the success of the economy and society. Core Themes (Standard Level SL and Higher Level HL) These include: Cell biology; molecular biology; genetics; ecology; evolution and biodiversity; human physiology. The course provides students with a fundamental understanding of biology and the experience of the associated skills. Additional Higher Level (HL) The HL course requires students to increase their knowledge and understanding of the subject with additional content which is conceptually more demanding and explores topics in greater depth. The increase in breadth and depth should result in increased networked knowledge, allowing students to make more connections between diverse areas of the syllabus.
While there are no specific entry requirements, it is strongly recommended that the student has a good background in a range of Biology topics.
Assessment HL: Paper 1 multiple choice questions and data based questions Paper 2 data-based questions, short and extended response questions. External assessment: 4 Hours and 30 minutes. Assessed Practical: Individual Investigation, 10 hours, worth 20%.
