Key Stage 4 Science

Year 10

In Year 10 the majority of students will study the three seperate sciences with AQA, working towards the award of 3 science GCSEs at the end of year 11.  These students will sit terminal exams i.e. they will be examined in the summer of 2014.  The specifications for triple science can be found using the following links:

AQA Physics Specification

AQA Biology Specification

AQA Chemistry Specification

Some students will study AQA (Science B).  They will still study all three sciences, but will be working towards 2 science GCSE.  Double students will be examined on modules Biology 1, Chemistry 1 and Physics 1 in May 2013, then modules Biology 2, Chemistry 2 and Physics 2 in the summer of 2014.

The specification for AQA Science B can be found using the following link:
