S3 Science With Biology Course
In this Science with Biology course pupils use an experimental and investigative approach to develop knowledge and understanding through 4 topic areas:
Brilliant Bugs
Exploring biotechnology, cell structure and human immunity, including looking at the controversial Biological procedures involving cells.
Generation Game
Reproduction, patterns of inheritance and how the DNA of an organism can be
altered.
Powerful Plants
The role of plants in our environment, and how humans can use plants to their benefit.
In the Zone
Body Systems and the role of Health Technology in improving the quality of life.
In common with all the science courses in S3 and S4, Science with Biology will develop pupils' skills of scientific investigation and problem solving. Together with researching, analysing and presenting information, pupils will find out where science is important to everyday life, and will be able to make judgements about the science-based claims that they see every day.
