Biology along with the other sciences is one of the most challenging subjects that you can study at A level. To succeed you need to have an organized approach to your studies, be willing to ask questions, be prepared to learn new skills and be prepared to apply your knowledge from Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics to living organisms. In return, you will gain training in practical skills and gain knowledge of how complex living organisms work. You will learn theory and develop practical skills throughout the course. Your work in class will be supported by practice questions completed at home and revision classes as examinations approach. The course is divided into 6 modules. Module 1- Development of practical skills in Biology. Module 2- Foundations in Biology. Module 3- Exchange and Transport Module 4- Biodiversity, Evolution and disease Module 5- Communication, Homeostasis and Energy Module 6- Genetics, Evolution and Ecosystems. The OCR course (Biology A) is linear. To achieve the full A level all exams will be completed in Year 13. A stand-alone AS is available at the end of Year 12 where only modules 1 to 4 are examined.
