  2. Why study science? Science is all around us, everything involves science somehow Employers are always keen to take on someone with a science background Okay, so you're probably not thinking about your career right now, but getting into science could be the best choice you could make at school. The problem solving skills you get from science are probably the most useful

  3. Choices • Triple Science = 3 GCSE’s • Biology, Chemistry and Physics • Double Science = 2 GCSE’s • Core and Additional • Pathway 2 • Triple or Double Science • Pathway 1 • Double Science

  4. Double and Triple Science Biology B1 B2 B3 Chemistry C1 C2 C3 Physics P1 P2 P3 BIOLOGY CHEMISTRY PHYSICS CORE ADDITIONAL

  5. Double Science 6 lessons per week 2 Teachers Core Science and Additional Science Core science course in Yr 10 Additional science course inYr 11 C2 Additional Chemistry 25% P2 Additional Physics 25% B2 Additional Biology 25% 1 piece of coursework 25% CORE SCIENCE + ADDITIONAL SCIENCE = 2 GCSE’s

  6. Triple Science 9 lessons a week 3 Teachers In addition to CORE and ADDITIONAL Science Further science modules B3, C3 and P3 Biology, Chemistry and Physics = 3 GCSE’s

  7. Resources • All students have access to an online textbook • Practical work is embedded in science lessons

  8. Coursework Investigative Skills assignment (ISA) Investigative task set by the Exam board, carried out in class and marked by class teacher Double science = 1 Core ISA and 1 Additional ISA Triple Science = 1 Biology ISA + 1 Chemistry ISA + 1 Physics ISA

  9. Sixth Form Options • We offer Biology, Chemistry and Physics • You need to get a minimum B grade for Double Science or a B grade in the science that you wish to study further

  10. Career Options Engineering Mechanical, Civil, Structural, Robotics, Energy, Chemical Life Science Vet, nurse, animal trainer, dietician, paramedic, genetic counsellor, gardener, speech therapist Earth and Environmental Science Soil scientist, Park Ranger, Climate Change analyst, Meterologist Physical Science Astronomer, Pilot, Nuclear Power station operator, electrician, ship captain

  11. Successful People Mayran - Medicine Enes – Biomedical Science Noushin – Chemical Engineer Keir – Aeronautical Engineer Martin - Criminology Olivia - Dentist Ali – Electrical Engineer Jonathan - Astrophysics
