Biology GCSE (23/24)

There are no entry requirements but having studied Science at Key Stage 3 and 4 would be an advantage.

The main aims of this course are as follows: * To develop scientific knowledge and conceptual understanding of biology. * To develop understanding of the nature, processes and methods of biology through different types of scientific enquiries that help them to answer scientific questions about the world around them. * To develop and learn to apply observational, practical, modelling, enquiry, and problem-solving skills, both in the laboratory, in the field and in other learning environments. * To develop their ability to evaluate claims based on biology through critical analysis of the methodology, evidence, and conclusions, both qualitatively and quantitatively.

The course for 22/23 is offered on Tuesdays 13:30-16:50 or Thursdays 18:00-21:00

7 key topics are covered during the year: * Cell Biology * Organisation * Infection and Response * Bioenergetics * Homeostasis and Response * Inheritance, Variation and Evolution * Ecology

You will have taught lessons and participate in practical sessions throughout the year. There is a written test at the end of each listed topic.
