Courses Description

Head of Pathway:

Plants are the starting point of any food web and sustain much of the life on our planet. Not only do they provide us with nourishment, they have also been used for medicinal purposes for centuries. We will learn about plants and their responses to the environment alongside how Humans have used plants and continue to use them today. 

In this module we will cover 2 internally assessed standards, and cover half of the External exam (plants part). Details below

NOTE: this module only covers HALF of the external, to cover ALL of the external you will need to take trimester 2 as well.
