No one can predict the future, but this much is known: the next century is the time of the biologist, who will be in the forefront of the most challenging, intellectual problems, such as understanding the most elemental building blocks of the mechanisms of life, the mechanisms of memory and of learning, the molecular basis of embryonic development, and the rules that help predict the behaviour of the environment. Biology also lies at the heart of major social problems that face the human race in the coming decade, such as sensible management of the environment and the effective control of human populations. It is vital that educated people understand the contributions that biological sciences have made and will continue to make for the future welfare of human beings. This is a challenging course, best suited to those students with an enquiring mind, those who want a deeper knowledge of Biology. It builds on what you have studied at GCSE and places an emphasis on how Biology affects our everyday lives.
Name: Biology AS/A level Qualification title: GCE A Level in Biology Qualification type: Assessment The AS course is split into four teaching modules. These will be examined in two written assessments at the end of the year, as follows: Breadth in Biology (worth 50% of the AS level) Depth in Biology (worth 50% of the AS level) The A level course consists of the four teaching modules from the AS course and two further modules. At the end of the A level course, students will be assessed through three written exams and a submitted practical grade based on the practical work completed through the two years. Biological Processes (worth 37% of total A level) Biological Diversity (worth 37% of total A level) Unified Biology (worth 26% of total A level) Practical endorsement in Biology (reported separately) All students will complete the AS level in Year 12. Students who go on to finish the A level course will be re-examined on AS content in the A level course.
