Biology is structured as a linear course split into six modules over two years. Module 1 relates to practical skills which are assessed throughout the written examinations and also through the Practical Endorsement during the second year. In Module 2 you are introduced to the basic principles and theories of Biology, including structure of cells, biological molecules, enzymes, biological membranes, cell division, cell diversity and cellular organisation. You will then apply these principles and theories to exciting topics such as exchange and transport in plants and animals in Module 3 and biodiversity, evolution, communicable diseases and function of our immune system inModule 4. In the second year of A levels you will complete the remaining two modules. Module 5 covers topics such as communication (nervous and hormonal system), homeostasis, respiration, photosynthesis as well as plant and animal responses to changes in the environment. Module 6 covers thought provoking current issues in biotechnology and gene technologies such as gene therapy and cloning, patterns of inheritance as well as ecosystems, populations and sustainability. WHY THIS COURSE? Exciting lessons – Small classes – Consistently high results – Caring and enthusiastic teachers – A level Biology offers huge access to a variety of university courses and future careers.
