S3 BGE

In S3 pupils opt to take two of the three core Sciences - Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

Biology is taught in line with the Broad General Education (BGE), as designated by Education Scotland.  In S3 we begin with a topic on "Cells", before commencing "Multicellular Organisms".  During S3 pupils cover a range of outcomes at a level(s) suited to their individual learning and develop their scientific skills, including completing a practice assignment.
