SSERC have developed our support available to practitioners delivering the CfE Advanced Higher Biology curriculum. This includes detailed protocols that can be used to support curricular key areas or for wider investigations. It should be noted that the protocols below are not necessarily recommended as projects - but could be adapted and planned, individually, by learners for their AH Biology projects.
SSERC have three general resources to support learners at this level. The first provides background guidance through the development of an investigation and the second supports statistical analyses learners or teachers might wish to develop through their studies. The latest resource is aimed at learners, informed by the 2019 SQA Course Report, and highlights some protocols that might serve as a starting point for their AH Biology project planning.
The Organisms and Evolution unit is divided into 2 main areas of content viz: Field techniques for biologists, and Organisms. In the sections that follow you will find a series of links to resources and activities – some of these have been produced by SSERC whilst others are from sources which we are happy to endorse/recommend.
The Investigative Biology unit is divided into 3 main areas of content viz: Scientific principles and process, Experimentation, and Critical evaluation of biological research. In the sections that follow you will find a series of links to resources and activities – some of these have been produced by SSERC whilst others are from sources which we are happy to endorse/recommend.
