Examining Board
十大信誉菠菜在科学课上遵循AQA教学大纲.  At KS4, your daughter will study either GCSE Science Trilogy (previously known as ‘double science’) or GCSE Biology, GCSE Chemistry and GCSE Physics (known as ‘triple science’).

All the GCSE courses have the same basic structure which is comprised of 100% terminal examination and required practicals that will be examined in the written papers.

All qualifications will be linear meaning that students will sit their examinations at the end of courses.

书面评估
所有书面评估将包括多项选择题, structured, 封闭式短回答和开放式回答问题.  All papers will assess knowledge and understanding from a distinct topic area.

科学实施考核
所有的科学课程都包括调查, observing, experimenting, 测试和思考想法.  They also include required practicals that must be carried out by all students with a record that they have done this.  Questions in the written assessment will relate to these practicals.  Here at Newstead we will include many more practical exercises that will enhance student learning.

GCSE综合科学:三部曲(8464)
这将取代目前的双奖.  All three sciences are studied and cover topics in the single science suite.  There are six papers: two biology, two chemistry and two physics.  这相当于两个普通中等教育证书.

所有试卷上的问题都是多项选择题, structured, 封闭式简短回答, 以及开放回应.

GCSE生物学(8461)
主题包括:单元格, mitosis, transport in cells; the digestive system, 循环系统, plant organs and systems; communicable diseases in plants and humans; photosynthesis and respiration; homeostasis, 神经系统, hormonal communication; reproduction, variation and evolution; classification; interdependence and competition; organization of an ecosystem, 和生物多样性.

有两篇论文.

GCSE化学(8462)
Topics will include: atomic structure and the periodic table; bonding, structure and the properties of matter; quantitative chemistry; chemical changes; energy changes; the rate and extent of chemical changes; organic chemistry; chemical analysis; and the chemistry of the atmosphere.

有两篇论文.

GCSE物理(8463)

Topics will include: forces; energy; waves; electricity; magnetism and electromagnetism; the particle model of matter; atomic structure and space physics.

有两篇论文:

Students will complete their required practicals as part of their class work and will not be completing them at home.

你如何帮助你的女儿学习科学?

• Encourage her to use scientific vocabulary and display key words around the house.
• 定期测试她所涉及的主题.
• 检查她的作业.
• Get her to discuss what she has done in science lessons and get her to teach you some science every week.
• 观看相关电视节目. Check the TV guide at the weekend and suggest programmes to watch during the week.
• 讨论报纸上的科学文章. Ask your daughter to suggest reasons, or expand on points raised.

有用的网站和书籍
Moodle contains a wealth of resources to support learning provided by the Science Department. Revision summaries for every topic are there which can be printed, 注释的:注释的并用于辅助学习的.

这取决于你女儿的兴趣, 《十大信誉菠菜平台》等杂志, New Scientist or National Geographic are all available which will help broaden your daughters understanding and appreciation of Science.

Past papers, mark schemes and examiners reports should be used as the exams approach as they are one of the best ways to practice exam questions. 这些都可以从AQA网站的链接中获得:

从GCSE到A - Level的过渡
Although the Trilogy suite does allow transition to study Biology, 高级化学或物理, 它只意味着少一些细节, 从GCSE到A - Level的差距更大.

At Newstead we believe that science is valuable to all students but realise different pupils have different aspirations and therefore offer the two course routes. We aim to engage and challenge all our girls to reach their scientific potential regardless of the route taken; trilogy or separate sciences.
