Year 12 The first year of the course centres first on the study of ‘Module 2 Foundations in Biology’ looking at the structure of cells and molecules. From this, two further modules are studied, ‘Module 3: Exchange and Transport’ and ‘Module 4: Biodiversity, Evolution and Disease’. Practical activities throughout the year allow the teaching of ‘Module 1: Development of Practical Skills in Biology’. Year 13 For the second year of the course, you will study ‘Module 5: Communication, Homeostasis and Energy’ and ‘Module 6: Genetics, Evolution and Ecosystems’. You will also continue to study ‘Module 1: Development of Practical Skills in Biology’. The course culminates in three exams. ● Biological Processes (Modules 1, 2, 3 and 5) 100 marks, 2hr 15 mins, 37% of A Level ● Biological Diversity (Modules 1, 2, 4 and 6) 100 marks, 2hr 15 mins, 37% of A Level ● Unified Biology (Modules 1–6) 70 marks, 1hr 30mins, 26% of A Level
● A high standard of literacy and numeracy ● The ability to hypothesise, research, draw conclusions and evaluate ideas ● The ability to interpret and analyse information presented in a range of contexts ● Good practical skills and a logical approach to practical activities ● A love of reading ● An inquisitive and enquiring mind ● Students are only recommended to continue to A Level if they have achieved A/A* at GCSE
The course culminates in three exams. ● Biological Processes (Modules 1, 2, 3 and 5) 100 marks, 2hr 15 mins, 37% of A Level ● Biological Diversity (Modules 1, 2, 4 and 6) 100 marks, 2hr 15 mins, 37% of A Level ● Unified Biology (Modules 1–6) 70 marks, 1hr 30mins, 26% of A Level
