Biology
Studying biology is valuable for several compelling reasons, depending on your interests and goals:
Biology helps you understand how your body works—how your brain processes thoughts, how your immune system fights disease, how your genes influence traits, and how your cells generate energy. It gives insight into what it means to be alive.
It’s the wonder of genetics, the beating of a heart, and death as necessity for life. Biology is our experience. Study it for real.
All students at Chase Grammar School study AQA GCSE and A Level sciences.
Biology is a broad field that includes many sub disciplines such as:
- Cell biology – the study of cells and their functions
- Genetics – the study of genes and heredity
- Ecology – the study of organisms and their environments
Evolutionary biology – the study of how life evolves over time
Physiology – the study of how organisms function
At its core, biology seeks to understand how life works, from the molecular level to entire ecosystems.
The AQA Biology programme at Chase Grammar School embodies the excitement of the dramatic advances in this rapidly expanding field, and is challenging, rewarding, and immediately relevant studies for students in other disciplines.
