Project Progression Record
Level 3 Extended Project
This form should be completed by the learner
Name: Sohan Amarchintha Centre: King Edward VI Grammar School, Chelmsford
Candidate no: 2204 Centre no:16325
Current programme of study (e.g. A Levels, Technical/National Diploma/Btec): A Levels
Qualification Type Level Subject
A Levels 3 Biology
Chemistry
Mathematics
Before starting this form, you should have already explored various themes and ideas for your project
and proposed a suitable topic to your mentor/supervisor
Date Project started: 27/01/2021
Project Topic: To what extent is Nanotechnology useful in Cancer Treatment?
Rationale: why you want to do this project and how it links to progression
plans/current courses/personal interest
Currently, I study Biology and Chemistry at A Level and am fascinated by cancer. I do
a lot of broader reading on cancer. I want to study for a Medicine degree at university
and I believe the project will help me extend and broaden my knowledge of
nanotechnology in cancer treatment.
Aims and Objectives: What outcome(s) do you hope to achieve. What skills are you aiming to
develop?
1. To provide an informed decision on the usefulness of nanotechnology in cancer treatment
2. To advance my essay writing skills to produce a scientific dissertation
3. I would like to expand my primary research skills
4. I resolve to develop my organisational skills and refine my ability to plan ahead of time
To what Extent can
Nanotechnology be useful in
treating Cancer?
