A Level Biology Field Trip

This year’s A Level Biology Field Trip took place on the 4th and 7th of October. We visited the Field Studies Centre at Beckenham Place Park, Homesteads.

The instructors there are experts in ecology, which is a key aspect of A Level Biology and brought the topic to life. Many degree courses expect that students have carried out fieldwork of this nature and it was an excellent opportunity for students to develop their practical team-building skills. The students carried out Required Practical 12 which is an investigation into the effect of a named environmental factor on the distribution of a given species this is essential for receiving the Practical Endorsement aspect of their A Level. The students found the experience very enriching and spent the two days developing their Biological field studies and knowledge. – Ms Muller
