Biology
Aims and Objectives
To learn about unifying patterns and themes in biology and use them in new and changing situations • acquire knowledge and understanding of biological facts, terminology, concepts, principles and practical techniques • apply the principles and concepts of biology, including those related to the applications of biology, to different contexts • evaluate biological information, making judgements on the basis of this information • appreciate the practical nature of biology, developing experimental and investigative skills based on correct and safe laboratory techniques • analyse, interpret and evaluate data and experimental methods, drawing conclusions that are consistent with evidence from experimental activities and suggesting possible improvements and further investigations • recognise the importance of accurate experimental work and reporting scientific methods in biology • select, organise and present relevant information clearly and logically using appropriate vocabulary, definitions and conventions • develop a logical approach to problem solving in a wider context • select and apply appropriate areas of mathematics relevant to biology as set out under each topic • prepare for more advanced courses in biology and for other courses that require knowledge of biology.
