Each week focuses on one science discipline—Biology, Chemistry, and Applied Science Maths Skills—followed by a final section that strengthens key course skills. Learners complete structured activities, use curated videos and reading resources, and practice core concepts such as specialized cells, acid-base reactions, equation balancing, and standard form unit conversion.","APPLIED  \nSCIENCE  \nTeacher name: Celia Woffindin  \nExam board: Pearson Edexcel [Email address: celia.woffindin@stockton.ac.uk](Email address: celia.woffindin@stockton.ac.uk)  \nBTEC Applied science builds on previous GCSE Science knowledge, developing on some conceptsand adding in many new ones. To succeed at college, it is vital you are able to retain useful knowledge over long periods of time. This preparation pack will help you consolidate your GCSE knowledge and start developing it towards college level.  \nThis is a four-week course with a different focus for each session. There is a section for each of the three sciences and a final section developing key skills for the course. Each section has useful resources, videos and activities to build your understanding up.  \nWeek 1: Biology  \nThe course builds on the structure and function of specialised cells in animals and plants and the organelles that help them function. Watch the videos recommended below then complete the activities to prove your understanding.  \nOnline Resources  \nUseful reading and videos:  \n• STEM learning – Cells: [https://www.stem.org.uk/rx33sx](https://www.stem.org.uk/rx33sx)  \n• Introduction to Animal cells (Crash Course biology): [https://youtu.be/cj8dDTHGJBY?](https://youtu.be/cj8dDTHGJBY?)  \n• Introduction to Plant cells (Crash Course biology): [https://youtu.be/9UvlqAVCoqY?](https://youtu.be/9UvlqAVCoqY?)  \nActivities  \n1. Complete the Venn diagram by populating it with things unique or common to each type of cell. You could include functions, organelles and structures  \nAnimal Plant  \nBoth  \n2. Using the online resources and this video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IlzKri08kk complete](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IlzKri08kk complete)[ ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IlzKri08kk complete)another Venn diagram, this time focusing on the differences and similarities between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells  \nEukaryote Prokaryote  \nBoth  \n3. Using all the resources and videos you have watched, complete the cards below to briefly describe the function of each organelle.  \n\n| Nucleus | Cytoplasm | Vacuole | Rough ER (endoplasmic reticulum) | Smooth ER (endoplasmic reticulum) |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n| Golgi body (or apparatus) | Lysosomes | Vesicles | Plasma\u003Cbr>membrane | Cell Wall |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n\nWeek 2: Chemistry  \nThe chemistry in applied science is largely based around useful practical skills like creating standard solutions, performing titrations and calculating concentrations. It is important to be able to identify common chemicals, predict reaction products and balance equations. This section should reinforce skills you should have covered at GCSE.  \nOnline Resources  \nUseful reading and videos:  \n• BBC Bitesize acid/base reactions revision: [https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zsmgpbk/revision/4](https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zsmgpbk/revision/4)  \n• BBC Bitesize naming salts revision: [https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zcjjfcw/revision/4](https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zcjjfcw/revision/4)  \n• Introduction to acids/bases (Crash Course chemistry): [https://youtu.be/ANi709MYnWg](https://youtu.be/ANi709MYnWg)  \n• Video explaining the three main reactions of acids: [https://youtu.be/QlSsle_jSQ8](https://youtu.be/QlSsle_jSQ8)  \n• FuseSchool video series on balancing equations: [https://youtu.be/bSlqA8nedGQ](https://youtu.be/bSlqA8nedGQ)  \nActivities  \n1. Many substances are acids or bases (alkaline)– sort the following substances in to the appropriate box – some may go in both boxes: Vinegar, Bleach, Lemon juice, hand-soap, alcohol, water, ammonia, margarine  \n\n| Nucleus | Cytoplasm |\n| --- | --- |\n|  |  |\n\n2. Using the online resources, add 5 examples of chemical acids (e.g. phosphoric acid) and 5 examples of bases or alkalis (e.g. magnesium hydroxide) to the table  \n3. Fill in the blanks for the following acid-base reactions.
