    \u201cBiology is the most powerful technology ever created. DNA is software, proteins are hardware,\ncells are factories.\u201d \u2013 Arvind Gupta<\/blockquote>\n

    Biology Department<\/h3>\nBiology is one of the most dynamic and diverse scientific fields. It enables learners to acquire\nsufficient knowledge and skills they need to become informed and confident citizens in a\ntechnological world.\n\nThe Biology department at Grange School provides an enjoyable and worthwhile educational experience\nfor all students. The department is staffed with experienced teachers, who make use of varying\nteaching methods, outdoor lessons and resource persons to make learning and teaching fun and interesting.\n\nWhether or not learners will later study Biology-related courses in the future, they develop skills\nthat are useful in everyday life.\n

    Key Stage 4 (IGCSE)<\/h3>\nAt IGCSE level, we place great emphasis on practical skills, ensuring students are well prepared\nand best positioned for success in their final examinations.\n

    Welcome to the world of Biology. Welcome to the study of life!<\/p>\n\n<\/div> <\/div>\n\t\t \n

    \u201cChlorine is a deadly poisonous gas employed on European battlefields in World War I. Sodium is a highly reactive metal which explodes upon contact with water. Together, they make a placid and unpoisonous material, table salt. Why each of these substances has such properties is a subject called CHEMISTRY.\u201d \u2013 Carl Sagan

    Chemistry Department<\/h3>

    We all do chemistry every day! As soon as you wake up in the morning, you start doing chemistry. The toothpaste, soap and body cream we use daily are all chemical products.<\/p>

    Chemistry explains how soap acts as a cleaning material; why a cup of coffee makes you alert; how petrol provides energy for an automobile; why you\u2019re able to smell a perfume and other aromas. In fact, chemical reactions also occur in the back of your eye when light hits it.<\/p>

    Chemistry is truly the “central science”. New breakthroughs in fields such as genetics, biochemistry, medicine, materials science, forensics, nanotechnology, drug discovery, the environment and next-generation computer hardware are all driven by chemistry.<\/p>

    Chemistry is about the molecules all around us. It is about matter \u2014 specifically how matter changes. Doing a degree in Chemistry will allow you to learn why the things around us behave the way they do.<\/p>

    A sound knowledge of chemistry is required to fully understand most other areas of science, which is why the study of chemistry is either compulsory or recommended by many other disciplines at university.<\/p>

    Chemistry opens the door to many careers because training in chemistry is essential for numerous positions in industry. Most importantly, it is just so fascinating! If you want to understand the workings of the world around you \u2014 then chemistry is for you!<\/p><\/div> <\/div>\n\t\t \n

    \u201cThere is no science in this world like Physics. Nothing comes close to the precision with which Physics enables you to understand the world around you. It\u2019s the laws of Physics that allow us to say exactly what time the eclipse is going to begin and what time the eclipse is going to end.\u201d \u2013 Neil deGrasse Tyson

    Physics Department<\/h3>

    The Cambridge IGCSE Physics syllabus helps learners to understand the technological world in which they live and take an informed interest in science and scientific developments. Students learn about the basic principles of Physics through a mix of theoretical and practical studies.<\/p>

    Learners also develop an understanding of the scientific skills essential for further study at A Level, skills which are equally useful in everyday life.<\/p>

    Here at Grange School, Physics is subtly introduced in the early years when pupils are welcomed into the world of science. This foundation is built upon at the KS2 level, where learners explore concepts such as Sound, Light, Forces and the world beyond.<\/p>

    Key Stage 4 (IGCSE)<\/h3>

    At KS4, students are prepared for the IGCSE examination. The pedagogy used in the Physics department is 21st-century compliant, with practical sessions embedded into lessons to enhance experiential learning.<\/p>

    Here at Grange, Physics is FUN \u2014 a fact clearly reflected in the high student enrollment in the subject.<\/p><\/div> <\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n
