This module of Head Start to Biology A level covers:
- The extra items you need to know to bridge the gaps from GCSE to A-Level.
- Which Textbooks are the best ones to get

- Good habits to be formed throughout A level
- What practicals will I need to know and how do I write these up?
- What skills do I need?
The content aspects that will be covered are:
- molecules
- cells
- genetics and cell division
- exchange surfaces and the 6 types of transport
- disease and immunity
- circulatory system and heart
- variation and classification
- plants – xylem and phloem

For each of these content aspects, we will cover a very minor GCSE amount of these, and the focus will mainly be the gap in understanding between GCSE and A level so that the A level course will be accessible for you from Day 1.
