Course GCSE (9-1) Combined Science Exam Board Edexcel The Combined Science course will allow all students to learn essential aspects of the knowledge, methods, processes and uses of science. This course will allow them to see how the natural world can be described through scientific detail. During the course, students will be able to develop an understanding of a number of key ideas which include: the use of conceptual models and theories to make sense of the observed diversity of natural phenomena Course the assumption that every effect has one or more Overview cause that change is driven by differences between different objects and systems when they interact that many such interactions occur over a distance and over time without direct contact that science progresses through a cycle of hypothesis, practical experimentation, observation, theory development and review that quantitative analysis is a central element both of many theories and of scientific methods of inquiry. Paper 1: Biology 1 Key concepts in biology Cells and control Genetics Course Natural selection and genetic modification, Health, Structure disease and the development of medicines Paper 2: Biology 2 Key concepts in biology Plant structures and their functions
