A-level Ecology practical work

The A-level Ecology practical work was written and trialled by an A-level Biology teacher.

For 2010/2011 teachers can bring a group, book a room, use the equipment here, and deliver the activities themselves.

From September 2011 it will be possible for teachers to bring groups to be taught by an experienced A-level teacher from the RHS, for no extra charge.

More A-level Biology practicals are under development for September 2011, including looking at differences in the thickness of shade and sun leaves of beech, with the help from staff from the Field Studies Council.
