Biology is an exciting and rapidly developing subject with a central place in the future of our society. Every week Biology is in the news with developments in our understanding of genetics, evolution and disease. • A qualification in Biology aims to not only equip students with sound scientific knowledge and understanding of biological concepts and scientific processes, but to also offer opportunities to explore the ethical and moral issues related to the effects of human activities on biological systems. • During the course you will have opportunities to: • Develop greater understanding of biological facts together with an appreciation of their significance in the wider world. • Develop greater expertise in the area of practical work and appreciation of the link between theory and experimental work. • Continue to enjoy a personal interest in the study of living organisms and processes. • Recognise the responsible use of Biology in society. • Develop a deeper awareness of Biology in the changing world and its importance in modern life. Themes/Units 1. Biological molecules 2. Cells 3. Organisms exchange substances with their environment 4. Genetic information, variation and relationships between organisms 5. Energy transfers in and between organisms 6. Organisms respond to changes in their internal and external environments 7. Genetics, populations, evolution and ecosystems 8. The control of gene expression
