Years 10 and 11
GCSE
Science is divided into Core, Additional
and Triple
Science.
Our exam
board is Edexcel. The science
syllabus is called 360 Science. If you followed the link and
got lost, try scrolling down the pdf to page 18.
Students
use Active Book. As well as a paper text book, you get to take
home a
CD ROM. It's got all that an ordinary text book has, but much
more besides...
If you're in set 1, you are doing Triple Science, ouch, it's hard
work! Three GCSEs in two years, a lot of extra work and that
twilight session on Wednesdays.
Set 2, you will do your first Science GCSE in year 10
(!) and Additional Science, another whole GCSE, in year 11.
If you're in set 3, you will do one Science GCSE over two years.
