The course is divided into a wide range of topics, each covering different key concepts of biology. We will further develop your practical skills and you will complete specific experiments that also help to reinforce your understanding. Your knowledge and understanding of these experiments will be assessed through the written papers. • Unit 1 Practical Skills • Unit 2 Foundations in Biology • Unit 3 Exchange and Transport • Unit 4 Biodiversity, Evolution and Disease • Unit 5 Communications, Homeostasis and Energy • Unit 6 Genetics, Evolution and Ecosystems
It is expected that you will have achieved a minimum of Grade 6 in your Science GCSEs. In addition, students will need to be able to communicate effectively and to handle and interpret data. It would therefore be necessary to have a good GCSE grade in Mathematics and English Language.
