National Biology
Students will be taught in the same class with National 3, National 4 and National 5 knowledge and skills being covered throughout the course.
You will be certified in just one level (either National 3, 4 or 5) on successful completion of the appropriate SQA assessments.
Which level you are finally assessed in will depend on your performance in assessments and class work throughout the year.
Each level consists of three units -
- Unit 1 - Cell Biology
- Unit 2 - Multicellular Organisms
- Unit 3 - Life on Earth
