If you have a passion for science and are looking to learn in a dynamic, hands-on way, then our GCSE Biology course may be just what you're looking for. The fast-track GCSE is an intense 6 month course that can enable you to progress onto level 3 studies in science, such as an Access to HE course or a HNC/HND. Science attempts to explain the world in which we live. It provides technologies that have had a great impact on our society and the environment. Scientists try to explain phenomena and solve problems using evidence. The data to be used as evidence must be repeatable, reproducible and valid, as only then can appropriate conclusions be made. A scientifically literate person should, amongst other things, be equipped to question, and engage in debate on, the evidence used in decision-making.
Name: Biology GCSE Qualification title: GCSE in Biology Qualification type: Assessment GCSE Biology is broken down into four separate units: ¿ Unit 1 ~ Externally set examination. Focus on the biology of the human body. ¿ Unit 2 ~ Externally set examination. Focus on the cells and tissues of plants and the human body. ¿ Unit 3 ~ Externally set examination. Focus on how biological environments work in harmony, or disharmony. ¿ Unit 4 ~ Controlled Assessment. Practical ways to assess your scientific skills. The science exams consist of a variety of question styles, including objective questions that test a learner's knowledge, structured short answers that assess theoretical approaches to science, and longer written answers that provide opportunities to stretch and challenge the most able learners. Every exam also assesses learner's spelling, punctuation and grammar. The Controlled Assessment task allows students to experience what a full scientific investigation is like, and consists of planning, observation and conclusions. The examination board (Edexcel) set the assessment task, which changes every year. Awarding Assessment & Qualifications Alliance Created 20170119 13:58:16 Updated 20170119 13:58:16
