Biology A level Biology is designed to develop an understanding of various key biological systems. These systems include the components of cells, the molecules which make up living things and the reactions between them. It also compares the systems found in plants and animals that are necessary for life. In the second year, a more integrated approach to considering biological systems is needed, as we learn about how different parts of the body and various populations interact in the topics of communication and ecology. Throughout the course, you will develop a variety of investigative practical skills, including the use of scientific equipment, presentation, data analysis and technique evaluation. The course is assessed by examination at the end of the second year. You will also work on an ongoing practical portfolio consisting of required components, which will be reported separately in the results.
