Course Content

BIOLOGY
IGCSE Biology in Combined Science covers the fundamentals of cell structure and organisation, biological molecules and enzymes, and plant and human systems such as respiration, circulation, digestion and photosynthesis. Students learn about reproduction, inheritance and variation, simple genetics, ecology and ecosystems, and human influences on the environment. The course also develops practical skills, including experimental design, data analysis and interpreting biological diagrams and graphs.
