Skills development

This course develops an important range of skills that go beyond those required for a traditional science A level. These include communication skills, critical thinking skills, data analysis and evaluation, the ability to develop an argument using effective evidence, and research skills. The course would provide a good framework for the development and assessment of functional skills. The internally assessed work at AS level would provide a good foundation for work on a Level 3 Extended Project.
