Welcome to Life Sciences! This subject is about studying living things—from tiny bacteria to enormous whales, from ancient fossils to the ecosystems around us today.

What you will learn:

• What makes something "alive"
• How living things are organised, from tiny molecules to huge biomes
• How science works: using evidence and testing ideas
• Important skills for investigating living things
• How to do practical work safely
