The option includes deeper study of these sciences alongside additional topics such as antibodies in medicine, sustainable food production, nanoscience, polymers, space science, and infrared radiation. The course is more demanding than double science and is taught over 15 hours per fortnight. It can be examined at both Higher and Foundation tiers, is linear with all Y11 exams at the end, and is assessed through six exams under AQA with 105-minute papers.","9  \nGCSE Triple Science  \nContact Person: Mrs M Evry  \nContact [Email:](Email: MEvry@nailseaschool.com)[ MEvry@nailseaschool.com](Email: MEvry@nailseaschool.com)  \n[Why do you have to study Science?](Why do you have to study Science?)  \nEBacc  \nStudying Triple Science results in students gaining three separate Science GCSEs in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. These separate Sciences are suitable for those who enjoy the hard work and practical activities involved in the study of Science. Studying separate Sciences at GCSE allows students to unpick how the world around them works and consider how advances in Science have led to some incredible breakthroughs. The implications and impact on our world of scientific advances will also be studied.  \nThree Science GCSEs can open the door to many career opportunities, however, it should not be undertaken lightly as students will have many hours of Science lessons a fortnight, therefore a passion for Science is important.  \nThe Triple Science option involves the study of extra topics in Biology, Chemistry and Physics, as well as studying those from Combined Science in more depth. Additional content present in Triple Science includes: The Use of Antibodies in Medicine, Sustainable Food Production, Nanoscience, The Science of Polymers, Space Science and The Behaviour of Infrared Radiation.  \nThis course is more demanding than the double science course and will be taught over 15 hours per fortnight.  \nAs with Combined Science, triple science can be examined at both Higher and Foundation Tiers.  \nTriple Science is equivalent to 3 GCSEs and candidates study a mix of all sciences for 15 periods/fortnight.  \nWhere can it take me?  \nExamination Information  \nNext Steps: A Level Sciences and other Level 3 courses including Forensic Science and apprentice opportunities  \nFuture career opportunities that this subject may lead to: Medicine, Dentistry, Engineering, Pharmaceuticals, Forensic science, Veterinarian and similar courses, Maths, Psychology, Midwifery, Paramedic services, Personal training, Catering. As a core subject, most career paths have a Science link.  \nExam Board: AQA  \nExam: 100% Exam  \nExam outline:  \nSeparate Science is 3 GCSEs  \n6 exams, 2 for each Science. Each examination is worth 50% of each Science. Examinations total 100% . The qualification is linear, so students will sit all exams at the end of Y11 . These exams are 105 minutes long.  \nYear 9 have started covering content for GCSE Sciences already. Students should consult with their teacher before choosing their preferred science course.  \nFor further information on the Combined Science and Triple Science courses please contact the Head of Science.  \nWhat Key Skills will I gain by taking Science  \n􀀻 Analysing  \n􀀀 Communication-Verbal  \n􀀀 Communication-Written  \n􀀀 Creative Thinking  \n􀀀 Debating  \n􀀀 Decision Making  \n􀀻 Evaluating  \n􀀻 Hands-On / Technical Skills  \n􀀻  \n􀀀  \n􀀀  \n􀀀  \n􀀻  \n􀀀  \n􀀻  \n􀀻  \nIndependent Learning Independent Thinking Listening Skills Presentation Skills Problem Solving Reading  \nResearch Team Work  \nBACK TO CONTENTS","cbCaigkXldVsVZOz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigkXldVsVZOz","pdf",138070,1,"English","en",105,"# Why study Science?\n## What Triple Science includes\n# Course demands and teaching time\n# Exam information\n## Tiers and equivalence\n## Exam board and structure\n# Next steps and career opportunities\n# Key skills gained","[{\"question\":\"What does studying GCSE Triple Science involve?\",\"answer\":\"Students study three separate GCSEs in Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
