Year 11 Summer work - preparation for A-level Biology

There are 2 elements to the summer transition work that you are to complete.  One is based on the CGP Head Start to A-level Biology guide that you need to purchase (refer to the resources section for information on where you can buy this) and the second is based on the AQA transition booklet (see below).

CGP Head Start to A-level Biology guide tasks

When we start school in September you will complete an induction assessment based upon the information in this guide within your first week.  The following tasks are designed to help support your preparation for this.  

There is a topic page for each of the 7 topics.  For each you will be asked to read the information and make notes.  There are then quick questions and exam questions that you should complete and self-assess.  You will find these additional tasks helpful in preparing you for the introductory assessment.

AQA transition booklet

Read through the booklet fully.  You need to complete all the activities 1-11 so will need to print out the relevant pages at least.  

This completed booklet needs to be stored carefully in your folder ready to be handed in to your biology teacher in your first lesson in September who will assess your work.
