Science GCSE Overview

◼ There are 6 exams: 2 Biology, 2 Chemistry and 2 Physics.

Trilogy

◼ Each exam is 1hr 15minutes long and worth 16.7% towards

your overall grade.

◼ You will achieve 2 Science GCSE’S eg. 44, 54, 65 – all 6 exams

are totalled together to give you your final grading. Triple

◼ Triple exams are 1 hour 45 minutes long to cover the extra

content.

◼ You will achieve 3 separate GCSE’S eg. Biology 7, Chemistry 6

and Physics 8.

bacterial cell

Cell structure part 1 - Animal, plant cells and bacterial cells

Cell part Function

Animal Plant Bacteria

Nucleus

Contains genetic material, which controls the activities of the cell

✔ ✔

Cytoplasm

Most chemical processes take place here, controlled by enzymes

✔ ✔ ✔

Cell membrane

Controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell

✔ ✔ ✔

Mitochondria

Most energy is released by respiration here

✔ ✔

Ribosomes

Protein synthesis happens here

✔ ✔

Cell wall

Strengthens the cell – made of cellulose (not bacteria) (algal cells also have a cell wall)

✔ ✔

Chloroplasts

Contain chlorophyll, absorbs light energy for photosynthesis

✔

Permanent vacuole

Filled with cell sap to help keep the cell turgid

✔

Bacterial DNA

Loop of DNA NOT found in a nucleus

✔

Plasmid (DNA)

Small ring of DNA often used as a vector in genetic modification

✔

Repetition

◼

Make flash cards – keyword on one side and the definition on the back.

◼

Simple mind maps – minimal writing, pictures

◼

Transform bigger chunks into pictures/songs etc

◼

Teach others…

How will pupils know if they are on track this year?

◼ End of topic assessments – Foundation & Higher Tier ◼ Assessment feedback – strengths and targets for

improvement

◼ PPE results – pupils will be given the grade they would have

achieved for that paper.

◼ Teacher feedback
