Course Description:
In the British Curriculum (GCSE) Year 10 Science, students study Physics, Chemistry, and Biology either as Combined Science (Double Award) or Separate Sciences. The course deepens students’ understanding of scientific principles and prepares them for GCSE final exams in Year 11.
What You’ll Learn:
- Physics: Energy, forces, motion, electricity, waves, magnetism, and atomic structure.
- Chemistry: The periodic table, chemical bonding, rates of reaction, quantitative chemistry, acids & alkalis.
- Biology: Cell biology, organization of organisms, disease & immunity, photosynthesis, respiration, ecology.
- Practical & Experimental Work: Planning investigations, collecting & analyzing data, and applying scientific concepts.
