Your investigative skills.

Biology iGCSE Year 10: Variety of living things Structure of living organisms a. Levels of organisation b. Cell structure c. Biological molecules d. Movement of substances e. Nutrition f. Respiration g. Gas exchange h. Transport And your two IA’s…investigation skills.

Year 11 2. Structure of living organisms i. Excretion j. Coordination and response 3. Reproduction and Inheritance 4. Ecology and the environment 5. Use of Biological resources Plus your MOCKs after the Christmas holidays.

Homework 3x35minutes per day When it’s science you are expected to work for the whole 35 minutes without distractions. If an activity is finished quickly then extra background reading or additional Biology work should be undertaken.
