6. How can you lend a hand? 1.Help your child to plan their revision. 2.Show an interest focused on the outcome of a revision session. 3.Ask your child questions based on what they’ve just studied – we’ve got some resources for this coming up.

16. Make Notes on Postcards Sized Pieces of Paper

17. Mind Maps

18. The Paper… Will be made up of six question. Ramping within questions – not across the paper

19. Multiple Choice Question There will be 6 of these in the paper. (Probably one in each question) If you want to change your mind – strike through and put the correct one. These are marked by a computer – no use writing the correct answer or circling the letter

20. Closed Response Question Pupils need to make a choice from a given set of questions There will be more of these in the ‘Science’ GCSE than the ‘Additional’ GCSE

21. Open Response Questions (Structured) Worth 1,2 or 3 marks (Higher go up to 4) Use command words from the specification that tell you the detail in which to respond.

22. One Markers Correct Incorrect Correct 2 marks 1 mark

23. Two Markers Note the change in demand Won’t lose a mark for incorrect spelling – have a go!

24. Three Markers Checking the specification we see that pupils don’t need to know why there’s a pattern This is thermal decomposition, carbonates break down to release carbon dioxide, this turn the limewater milky. Barium is the most stable because it didn’t decompose

25. Six Markers Likely to be the most challenging. 2 on each paper they may ask questions based on their ability to: – some just recall – evaluate data from practical – applications of the science they have learnt.

27. But… We were told that pupils can: – Answer in bullet points. – Marks will be awarded for the Science first, then the spelling, punctuation and grammar.
