A2 Biology

UPDATED 20161016 18:20:56

The Edexcel Level 3, Advanced GCE in Biology B course offered at Sir Charles Kao, aims to give students opportunities to further develop their interest in, and enthusiasm for, biology, providing a gateway into Biological University courses. Throughout the two year programme, Students will demonstrate and apply knowledge, understanding and skills for each topic. In addition, they will analyse, interpret and evaluate a range of scientific information, ideas and evidence using their knowledge, understanding and skills. There will be opportunities for students to develop mathematical skills throughout the content and they are required to apply these skills to relevant biology contexts. Practical work is central to any study of biology. Sixteen core practical activities which form a thread linking theoretical knowledge and understanding to practical scenarios, will be conducted over the two academic years. In following this thread, students will build on practical skills learned at GCSE, becoming confident practical Biologists, handling apparatus competently and safely.
