KS3 Biology

pembs_008

The Key Stage 3 curriculum is taught in Years 7 and 8. During these two years we strive to give pupils a foundation in Biology from which they can build during GCSE and A Level courses. In addition we look to ensure that any fundamental concepts which are not within the GCSE specification are covered here. In this way we like to think that we ensure all pupils leaving Rougemont have a good grounding in Biology, whether they choose to study it further or not.

The topics followed in each year are as follows:

Year 7

Year 8

Cells

Variation and Classification

Respiration

Food and Digestion

Breathing and Circulatory Systems

Reproduction

Inheritance and Selection

Skeletal System and Movement

Plants and Photosynthesis

Feeding Relationships

During these years we would also look to carry out fieldwork projects to allow pupils to see Biology in the wider environment, rather than from a classroom base alone.
