This specification aims to naturally progress from GCSE and take recognisable topics a stage further. Some, such as reflex actions and geotropisms, are studied in greater detail, while others broaden the GCSE experience and use mathematics so that the qualitative understanding becomes more quantitative. The A-level specification has been designed to not duplicate content from GCSE but to expand on the principles and increase overall knowledge while keeping context to a minimum. There is a fresh approach to practical work by putting purposeful practical work at the heart of the teaching.
