On this course you will study the science that underpins day-to-day life. The focus will be on scientific explanations and models through which you will gain an insight into how scientists help develop our understanding of ourselves and the world we live in. You will gain skills in scientific data analysis and learn how you can use this information to understand the science and technology that is all around us. The units that you will study encompass Biology, where you will look at the processes of life, growth and development and the brain and mind. In Chemistry, chemical patterns, chemicals of the natural environment and chemical synthesis will all be covered. Physics looks at explaining motion, electric circuits and radioactive materials. Alongside scientific knowledge and interpretation, you will develop techniques of working with others and applying skills in numeracy and information technology to assist with problem solving. The practical coursework will test a range of practical skills such as experimental design, collecting and analysing data and interpreting the results. Additional science gives emphasis and space to fundamental ideas in the sciences and ensures that appropriate skills are developed in preparation for further study. It provides a stimulating bridge to advanced levels in science. The emphasis of the course is on 'science for the scientist'.
