What is your coursework about? Your coursework involves writing about an important, current issue in science. e.g. Should cannabis be legalised? Are mobile phones dangerous? Should human cloning be allowed?

What do you have to do? You will need to: a. research to find out what a variety of different people think about the issue, including thoughts of people who are in favour and others who are against it. b. consider the different views and use your science knowledge to decide what you think. c. write up a structured report on the issue.

Why your coursework is important? Your coursework will be marked and contributes to your final Core GCSE grade.
