Advanced Higher is a very enjoyable course but is also very demanding.

   

The units cover the following content areas:

D034 13 Biology Investigation (AH) 0.5 credit (20 hours)

 

Optional units

D037 13 Physiology, Health and Exercise (AH) 0.5 credit (20 hours)

Here at Preston Lodge, we study the Physiology, Health and Exercise Unit

 

RECOMMENDED ENTRY

 

 

 

 

Hibernation.

A few sites to checkout.

Have a look at the following. Some interesting bits here.
