Biology

Course summary

You will study a range of topics across the two years of study. In your first year, these will include: Biological Molecules, Cells, Exchange Between organisms and Genetics. In the second year, you will progress with your understanding of Biology to consider topics such as: ecology, control of gene expression, energy transfers and coordination of responses to stimuli in plants and animals. You will use a range of methods in class, such as individual and group work alongside regular practical work. In lessons, we will consider the theory behind the topics that we are studying and you will learn to apply this to the wider world and to other aspects of Biology. Outside of the lesson, you will develop and use independent skills to complete homework that will be set after each lesson. This may include research, writing up practicals or completing exam questions.
