  2. Which courses are offered?

  3. What’s the difference? • Separate Science is aimed for high ability students who have a keen interest in science (Level 7 at KS3 by Easter). • Separate Science students work at a much faster rate, are expected to understand new topics quickly and be good at Maths. • In Separate Sciences you take a total of 6 exams, 2 for each subject; in Combined Science you take 4. All exams are equally weighted. • All courses are assessed through examination with no coursework component.

  4. How are the courses assessed?

  6. What will my final result look like?

  7. What will I be learning? Physics Biology Chemistry B1 You and your genes C1 Air and water P1 Radiation & Waves B2 Keeping healthy C2 Chemical Patterns P2 Sustainable Energy B3 Living together – food and ecosystems C3 Chemicals of the natural environments P3 Electric Circuits B4 Using food and controlling growth P4 Explaining motion C4 Material Choices Combined Science C5 Chemicals analysis P5 Radioactive materials B5 The human body – staying alive C6 Making useful chemicals P6 Matter – models & explanations B6 Live on Earth – past, present and future All students are taught the same chapters. Separate science students go into more depth. Both courses have foundation (L1-5) & higher tier (L4-9) versions. P7 Ideas about science C7 Ideas about science B7 Ideas about science

  8. All Post-16 courses available in September 2018 (Applied Science, Biology, Chemistry and Physics) will be open to students who have studied either Separate Sciences or Combined Science as long as they meet the entry requirements. What about Post-16?

  9. What extra resources do I need for GCSE Science? • Calculator (ideally scientific). • Ensure you always have a pen, ruler and a sharp pencil. Bring your exercise book to every lesson. • Consider purchasing the new textbooks from OUP when published. • Purchase a revision guide from school. • Ensure you can access Kerboodle

  10. Ask and answer as many questions as possible during the lesson. Try to attend all lessons and catch up on any work that you miss. Ensure all pieces of work set in lesson are completed. Never miss any home-learning tasks, making sure they are submitted on time. Watch science programmes on television. Look out for science-related items in the news and in newspapers or magazines. Remember the work you do in Yr9 will be tested in a real GCSE exam in the future. Tips for success…
