AQA GCSE (9-1) Biology for Combined Science: Trilogy Two Year Scheme of Work
This 2-Year Scheme of Work offers a flexible approach for KS4 using the combined route through the single Biology student book. The suggested timings are based on three
lessons per fortnight (assuming a two-week timetable of two lessons one week and one lesson in the other) but can be tailored to suit the needs of a particular class or group
of students. Lessons are assumed to be sessions of 40-60 minutes. The teaching scheme is scheduled to finish in the second term of Year 11 to allow time for revision and
GCSE examinations in the summer term. Please note that some of these lessons only require partial coverage or are shorter than others and therefore sometimes there are
more than three lessons in a fortnight. The maths skills spreads are numbered as the last spread in a chapter but can be used at any appropriate point according to the needs
of your students.
