Where can this course take me in the future?You will be required to understand scientic methodology to carry out required practicals and nd the answers toScience opens many avenues including A levels in science questions.and apprenticeships. Students have gone on to study: biology, physics, chemistry, psychology, criminology, Science involves many mathematical skills to analyse dataanimal care, electrical engineering, sports science and and evidence to form conclusions. This includes the use ofengineering.equations, interpreting graphs, calculating means and evaluating the quality of data to support your conclusions.Exam Board: For this reason, to be successful in science you need to always be questioning, and ready to use knowledge andAQA skills developed in other subjects to apply to Science.
