GCSE / IGCSE Combined Science Exams Not Included
The word "science" probably brings to mind many different images: a textbook, white lab coats and microscopes, an astronomer peering through a telescope, a naturalist in the rainforest, Einstein's equations scribbled on a chalkboard, the launch of the space shuttle, bubbling beakers …. all of those images reflect some aspect of science, but none of them provides a full picture because science is such a broad subject.
In addition to knowledge in the field of science, you will develop transferable skills including:
- Development of scientific thinking
- Experimental skills and strategies
- Analysis and evaluation
- Scientific vocabulary, quantities, units, symbols and nomenclature
All about Science:
- Science is both knowledge and a process.
- Science is discovery.
- Science is useful.
- Science is ongoing.
- Science will never be "finished."
- Science is a global human endeavour. People all over the world participate in the process of science. And you can too!
Our GCSE/IGCSE Combined Science including exams courses is a starting point for every career in science-related fields. Our course combines the requirements for both GCSE and IGCSE.'
Combined science covers Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Read on to find out about each subject in more detail.
Further study after GCSE or IGCSE is A-Level, IA-Level, degree level and beyond. Qualifications in science can lead to hundreds of different exciting and rewarding careers.
Modules
Your course starts with two short units that cover everything you need to know about Combined Science, all about the exams, the differences between GCSE and IGCSE, and the practical activities and includes some great advice on how to successfully study online. There are details on the exams and how they are structured as well as links to the qualification specifications.
Units 3 to 11 cover the biology part of the course, and include the principles of biological science:
- Cell Biology
- Organisation
- Infection and response
- Bioenergetics
- Homeostasis and response
- Inheritance, variation and evolution
- Ecology
- The Differences Between Living and Non-living Things
- Carbohydrates, Lipids and Proteins
- The Basic Concepts of DNA and Genetics
Moving on to Chemistry, units 12 to 22 cover the scientific discipline of understanding the elements, atoms, molecules and ions, the building blocks of the universe. You will get the chance to study their composition, structure, properties and behaviours and the changes they undergo during chemical reactions.
- 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 change
- Organic chemistry
- Chemical analysis
- Chemistry of the atmosphere
Finally, the course is completed with the Physics section. Physics is the natural science that studies matter, its fundamental constituents, its motion and behaviour through space and time, and the related entities of energy and force. Physics is one of the most fundamental scientific disciplines, and its main goal is to understand how the universe behaves. is a diverse and ever-evolving subject. Physics has helped us understand everything from the human body to the natural world and climate change. Physics opens doors to some of the most exciting, cutting-edge, rewarding jobs in the world. From cancer treatment to tackling climate change, and gaming to robotics and artificial intelligence, physics and physicists are on the front line, helping to shape the future.
In the physics part of your course, you will learn all about:
- Forces and motion
- Electricity
- Waves
- Energy resources and energy transfers
- Solids, liquids and gases
- Magnetism and electromagnetism
- Radioactivity and particles
- Astrophysics
At the end of your course are a set of mock exams for GCSE and a set for IGCSE.
