This subject runs for a full year, and must be taken as a double science (01BIC and 01PES). Year 11's will otherwise have to take 01SCG, as Science is compulsory at Level 1.

Teachers in Charge: Madeleine Collins (CLS) and Zev Fishman (FIS)

In this course, students will explore the interconnected nature of Biology and Chemistry, and take a look into how loving organisms interact with the living and non-living part of their environment.

This course should be taken in combination with 01PES (as a double science course).
