This course covers 4 internal standards and 2 external standard.
Students will be expected to carry out a practical investigations. The data collated from the practical activity will be tabulated, processed, analysed and then used to present a report.
Other activities include researching biological topics and going on an educational day-trip.
Seniors are expected to take responsibility for their learning, this means reading relevant texts, and completing all class work and homework.
