The Biology AS-level Thread

I Have no idea whether a thread like this was made so, hello to everybody studying AS level Biology from 2013, I've made this thread to hopefully be similar to the 'Mega A level Maths Thread'

So basically this thread is open to all exam boards so feel free to discuss lessons, post tips and questions and generally help other people :h:

Yeah had my first lesson today; just went over the course and started learning about anti-oxidants and doing an experiment on the concentration of Vitamin C. I always find Biology interesting; combine that with a not-too-strict-but-great teacher and I'm happy. :biggrin: We were lectured on using folders instead of notebooks though; which I personally don't like using -_- What about you? :smile:

So far I've started to learn about microscopy (completed), biological drawings and biological molecules/biochemistry

haha No problem :h:
Yaaay, biology! I'm on AQA, for those who don't already know.
Hey guys, I'm doing OCR :smile: I've had two lessons but they were really just admin. Done some work on microscopy though :smile: (apparently my cheek cells are mutant)

:five: It's my favourite science :biggrin: Cool how come it was two years ago? I presume it was in your GCSE spec? Hmm I can never decide between human and environmental; but they both win over the ethical arguments that tag along with all the good stuff :rolleyes:
