SNAB is a course with its own distinctive philosophy that uses a
context led approach with topics based on contemporary issues.
SNAB aims to turn A level students into biologists who are not
only armed with knowledge of biological principles but have the
skills to use them in new situations. For the AS course, students
will study lifestyles, transport, genes and health in unit 1 and
development, plants and the environment in Unit 2. In the A2
course, Unit 4 comprises the natural environment and species
survival and Unit 5, energy, exercise and coordination. Both Unit
3 and Unit 6 involve practical, research and investigative
assessments. All students have the opportunity to attend a
field trip to the Netherlands at the end of the first year and take
part in a biodiversity expedition to South Africa at the end of the
second year. |
