Course Overview



This course provides insight into living organisms to a GCSE-standard. It begins with an overview of living organisms and gradually builds in complexity with each lesson. By the end of this course, students will have a clear understanding of the structure and functions of both animal and plant cells, the functions of the nervous and circulatory system, and the process of respiration, reproduction and inheritance. During this course, students will develop their scientific reasoning and analytical skills, whilst preparing for the GCSE exam. Students will answer exam-style questions and have a chance to extend learning beyond that to promote a passion for this subject.
