1. Science at KS4

2. Trilogy or Separate Science
Science is not an option. Everyone studies Science at GCSE
Each year, between pupils are invited to take Separate sciences (formerly “Triple”)
If invited, a student can accept the invitation or decline it
Everyone else will sit the Trilogy route

3. What is the difference between “Trilogy” and “Separate” sciences?
In Separate science, you get 3 GCSEs
In Trilogy you get 2
Both routes study Biology, Chemistry and Physics

4. Topics studied in Unit 1 and Unit 2

9. Examinations The exams:
have fewer words, so they're easier to understand
have fewer contexts, so students don't get confused
have questions that increase in difficulty as students progress through the paper
Link closely with GCSE Maths and AS and A-level science
Students will need a calculator for every examination!

10. There is no longer any coursework
The way practical skills are assessed is changing. Students won't be assessed by ISAs anymore
Instead, they'll do a series of required practical activities. Then the exams at the end of the course will assess their practical skills

11. There are far less equations on the data sheet
