The syllabus aims to:

1. develop an understanding of fundamental biological principles and concepts (such as structure and function relationships; unity in diversity; energy transduction), based upon practical and theoretical knowledge of living organisms and the environment;

2. make accurate observations of biological material and phenomena, both in the field and in the laboratory;

3. develop the ability to record information accurately;

4. formulate hypotheses and plan, design, and carry out experiments to test them;

5. develop the ability to appraise information critically, identify patterns, cause, and effect, stability and change and evaluate ideas;

6. appreciate that although generalizations have predictive value, there are often exceptions to them;

7. develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills;

8. develop an awareness that principles of Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, and other disciplines are necessary for a proper understanding of Biology;

9. recognize the dynamic nature of the interrelationships between organisms and their environment;

10. develop a natural curiosity about living organisms and respect for all living things and the environment;

11. develop the ability to work independently and collaboratively with others when necessary;

12. apply biological knowledge for further studies as well as in everyday life situations;

13. acknowledge the social and economic implications of Biology;

14. integrate Information Communication and Technology (ICT) tools and skills.

Notes

It is recommended that a minimum of 4 hours per week should be timetabled for the Electrical and Electronic

Technology Unit. Of this, 2½ hours should be for theoretical instruction and the remaining 1½ hours for practical

(laboratory) work.

An additional 10 minutes of reading time will be allowed for Paper 2. The total time for Paper 2 will therefore be 2

hours and 40 minutes. No writing must be done during the 10 minutes of reading time.

The use of calculators will be permitted in the examination
