This specification has been designed to engage and inspire students by showing how an understanding of many contemporary issues requires a grasp of fundamental biological ideas.
From September 2008, Edexcel will offer one GCE specification in Biology, developed from the best of the current Edexcel and Salters Nuffield Advanced Biology (SNAB) specifications.
It offers a choice of proven teaching and learning styles leading to one common assessment structure.
‘We have a total of 13 teachers in our science department who will be teaching GCE Science and all preferred Edexcel’s GCE Chemistry, Physics and Biology specifications. We like the introduction of the new internal assessment methods. It’s an unique feature and gives us added flexibility’.
Gordon Watson, Science Team Leader Maltby, Comprehensive School, Rotherham.
