Follow a rigorously academic course, which covers all the Level 2 external achievement standards. It covers:
- Genetic variation in the form of inheritance and evolutionary change (external)
- Structures and Processes that happen in a cell (external)
- How genes code for proteins and how these are expressed (external)
- Investigate layers of the forest and the adaptations that have evolved (internal with field trip)
- Investigate processes that happen in the cell (internal with a practical assessment)
There are two Level 2 internals achievement standards. These include a fieldtrip to collect field data to write a report on the composition of a forest, and a practical assessment to investigate aspects of cell processes.
This course leads onto the Level 3 Biology courses that are UE Approved
