Science at KS4

Why do we teach Science? Developing and maintaining curiosity Developing descriptive and explanation skills Developing practical investigative and exploratory skills Provide and understanding and knowledge basis for KS4 study

Two possible routes: Separate Science aka Triple Award: Physics GCSE, Chemistry GCSE and Biology GCSE. Double Award: Core Science GCSE, Additional Science GCSE (both cover key elements of physics, chemistry and biology) Both routes are suitable preparation for A level study

Core and Separate Science GCSE B1 You and Your Genes C1 Air Quality P1 Earth in the Universe B2 Keeping Healthy C2 Materials Choices P2 Radiation and Life C3 Chemicals in our lives B3 Life on Earth P3 Sustainable Energy

Additional and Separate Science GCSE B4 The processes of Life C4 Chemical Patterns P4 Explaining Motion B5 Growth and Development C5 Chemicals in the Natural Environment P5 Electric circuits B6 Brain and Mind C6 Chemical synthesis P6 Radioactive materials

Separate Science GCSE only B7 Further Biology C7 Further Chemistry P7 Further Physics
