BIOLOGY

A LevelAQA Biology

If you are looking at a career path in science,

focusing on medical science, genetic engineering, biotechnology, or the environment- this course is for you…

This course covers a range of biological principles and concepts that build on what you have learned at GCSE.

From molecules, cells, genetics and the environment there is content that will appeal to all. There is a distinct focus on practical skills that complements the subject content well.

Across the Course you will study areas of Biology such as:

• Biological Molecules

• Cells

• Organisms exchange substances with their environment

• Genetic Information, variation and relationships between organisms

• Energy transfers in and between organisms

  Organisms respond to changes in their internal & external environment

  Genetics, populations, evolution and ecosystems

  The control of gene expression

ASSESSMENT:

Paper 1 – (35%)  External Exam 2hrs

Paper 2 – (35%) External Assessment 2hrs
