Competent in a variety of practical, mathematical and problem solving skills.Knowledgeable of the historical and continuing role that Biology plays in decision making at local, national and global scales its contribution to economy and society.Knowledgeable of scientific methods and their application in Biology and related fields.Curious, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Biology.The TBGS Biology learner profile (adapted from the IB learner profile and aims of the OCR Biology A course): Our vision for a student of Biology is broad and retains flexibility so that students have the freedom to follow their own path through the biological sciences whilst equipping themselves for further study and employment, whatever their chosen subject. Collaboration and communication are vital transferable skills and students are supported in the acquisition and refinement of these skills. We aim to enable students to find and indulge their passion for Biology and equip them with key stage-appropriate practical and investigative skills, an ever-deepening understanding of the principles and goals of the scientific method and the tools to apply their understanding to unfamiliar contexts. The Biology department is a team of specialist teachers with abundant enthusiasm for and expertise in Biology and the sciences in general. The Biology department sees our subject as a central component of the curriculum at TBGS which will appeal to and complement the studies of every student. Finally, the diversity of biological form has inspired many artists and continues to inspire students today in Art and influences the design of many products. The models and statistical techniques of Biology are transferable and desirable to many subjects such as Economics. The scientific method and ethical dilemmas posed by many applications of Biology allow students to apply the skills gained in their Philosophy lessons. Increasingly, Biology is seen as a complementary subject to Physics and Computing due to the expanding fields of Bioengineering and Bioinformatics. The multidisciplinary nature of Biology as a subject makes it an ideal companion subject to Chemistry and Geography and the content of these three subjects overlap in many ways. It places us within our local, national and global communities and allows us to understand the implications of our actions at all these levels. Life is all around us and we are privileged observers in that we personally experience Biology and the study of the subject becomes a study of oneself and the common links we share with organisms as diverse as bacteria and whales. As new technologies are developed, these systems can be investigated in increasing detail in a constantly evolving discipline of science.Īt TBGS, our aim is to equip students to understand the beauty, complexity and sheer wonder of Biology. Biological complexity emerges from the laws and models of Physics and Chemistry in unpredictable and exciting ways this inherent variability of biological systems is what allows life to change and adapt. “How on Earth are you every going to explain in terms of Chemistry and Physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?” Albert Einsteinīiology is the study of life and living organisms, from the complex biochemical processes and molecular organisation of the simplest organisms to the vast interactions that allow the functioning of the global biosphere.
