The new GCSE course limits choice from previous years.

Choice of either:

GCSE Combined Science (Double Award)

GCSE Triple Science

ELC Science

No Coursework but compulsory practical endorsement.

GCSE Science ChoiceSlide9

To select GCSE Triple Science students need a minimum grade of a grade 9SEC*

The Combined Science course covers the majority of the triple science course content.

Students this year have moved between double and triple science at the early stages of the course.

GCSE Science ChoiceSlide10

GCSE Triple Science

GCSE Biology offers students:

A firm foundation to go on to study A-level Biology

A good background to specialise in other sciences

The opportunity to gain a good understanding across a broad range of rich and relevant topics in:

human biology

organisms

evolution

the environment. Slide11

GCSE Triple Science

GCSE Chemistry offers students:

A

firm foundation to study A-level

Chemistry

A

good background to specialise in other

sciences

The

opportunity to gain a good understanding of:

the nature of substances and how they react together

how our knowledge of chemistry is used in business and industry

how our use of raw materials as fuels and in manufacturing can affect the local and global environment. Slide12

GCSE Triple Science

GCSE Physics offers students:

A

firm foundation to go on to study A-level Physics

A

good background to specialise in other sciences

The

opportunity to gain a good understanding of:

the use and transfer of energy

waves, radiation and space

the application of

physicsSlide13

GCSE Triple Science

GCSE Combined Science offers students:

A

good knowledge of science,

studying the majority of content from

GCSE Biology, GCSE Chemistry and GCSE

Physics.

A

firm foundation to go on to study A-level Science subjects

if target grades are met.

The

opportunity to gain a good understanding across topics such as:

keeping healthy

elements and atoms

the transfer of energy. Slide14

There will be no controlled assessment (ISAs) in the new GCSE.

Instead

students will be assessed on their practical skills in their exams with 15% of the marks coming from questions relating to practical activities.

Students will be awarded a practical endorsement if they successfully complete a number of

practical's

which will not

contribute to their overall grade.
