Level 3 Biology
13BIO Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge:
Level 3 Biology:
This course at Level 3 aims to develop investigation skills and allows you to communicate ideas in a Biological context. You will consider the Biology of a controversial topic and develop an informed decision based on your research. You will then learn about mammals and their ability to control their internal environment (homeostasis). This will be assessed through both an internal and external assessment. The focus is mainly on humans and how we regulate and maintain temperature, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels. The assessment is based on the Coast to Coast. There will also be an opportunity to complete an individual investigation in a biological context. This includes the design, setup and carrying out of a full investigation. To gain Biology as a University Entrance Subject an external exam must be completed.
