Skills, knowledge and understanding • Use theories, models and ideas to develop and modify explanations • Pose your own scientific questions, use appropriate methods, including ICT, to answer scientific questions and solve scientific problems • Carry out experiments and investigations • Analyse and interpret data • Consider ethical issues in the treatment of humans, What skills do I need ? The topics covered at AS and A level are at a much greater depth than those covered at GCSE and as a consequence the approach to learning these must include increased independent study. This will include: • Reading around the subject both prior to and after the lesson. • Researching given topics. • Being able to manage your time. Entry requirements are decided with individual students once final GCSE results are known, but as a general rule: • GCSE Grade B (or better) in both Additional and Core Science. A Grade A (or better) in GCSE Additional Science is advisable. • For students intending to take the full 2 year A-level course, Grade B’s (or better) in both GCSE courses are advisable. • Given the highly mathematical nature of these courses, a Grade B (or better) in GCSE Mathematics is advisable. How is the course graded? Unit 1, 2, 4 and 5 by exam, Unit 6 is a practical assessment carried out in school. Contact provider for more information as this may not be up to date course information
