<- CLICK ON THE ICON


Building on the success of BBO, the aims of the British Biology Challenge, 2010 are as below:

1. To involve as many pupils as possible in a challenging and interesting biology competition.

Questions will be set on the school curriculum but the Biology Challenge will also reward those students whose knowledge of the subject has been increased by reading books and magazines, watching natural history programmes and taking notice of the news media for items of biological interest, students who are generally aware of our natural flora and fauna. The Challenge will consist of two papers.

2. To act as a junior version of the British Biology Olympiad (BBO), raising its profile and encouraging participation.

3. To encourage pupils in their interest in Biology before they make their crucial choice of subjects to study post-GCSE.
