There are also two coursework units focusing on science in industry with an in depth study into the use of science in the brewing industry, and analysis methods used in science with focus on energy transfers and chemical analysis methods. In Year 13 the examination is based on sampling and testing procedure (focusing on Chemistry methods) and two coursework units; planning and carrying out your own investigation plus an optional module (Ecology and Organic Chemistry are options taken previously)
