I have created a set of Topic 1 notes for each Key Area, the content of which is aligned to the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) curriculum. I have included Task boxes that correspond to the tasks throughout the website for this Topic. These are available on the title page for each key area.
Feel free to download these notes and print them or electronically edit them as you progress through the website. If you click on the icon in the top right of the document below, it will open in Google docs - please "Make a copy" of this before editing (see screenshot opposite).
This video provides a new overview of some of the molecular processes you will encounter during this unit. Importantly, it gives you an insight into the world of molecular imaging and how scientists use this to bring some of their scientific findings to life.
