What to Expect?

The National 4 Biology course is comprised of 3 core units and 1 added value unit which is internally assessed.

Each unit builds upon the basic foundations taught during the BGE phase and introduces exciting new concepts for a deeper understanding of how  planet earth is delicately balanced and the inner workings of the human body functions.

As with all Science, numeracy skills will be a key component throughout as you understand how to complete core skills such as calculating averages, percentages and graph drawing.

What are the Units?

Each unit is made up of approximately 6 key areas and consists of individual tasks, independent research and core knowledge questions.

The names of each unit are as follows:
1. Cell Biology
2. Multicellular Organisms
3. Life on Earth

Where can I get Resources?

All resources for the course will be made available via the class team including PowerPoints, worksheets, videos and virtual classrooms which have content tailored to this level.
