Introduction to Advanced Biology

The Advanced Level specifications for courses starting in September 2000 divide the content into AS material, which will normally be covered in the first year, and A2 material, which will normally be covered in the second year.

This text covers both AS and A2 material to help students make the transition from GCSE Double Award Science.

Each topic starts at the level required for a Grade C pass at GCSE, building up gradually to the depth of coverage required for a complete A level.

The key skills of communication, information technology and application of numbers are specifically covered through questions and activities at the end of each chapter, although there are further opportunities to develop these skills throughout.
