The document details QAN codes, exam numbers, paper lengths and mark allocations, and highlights tier availability (foundation and higher). It lists biology, chemistry and physics topic coverage by paper, then provides a year 10–year 11 term-by-term breakdown and assessment checkpoints across both science pathways.","Science KS4 Curriculum Map  \nExam option 1: AQA Trilogy Combined (2 GCSEs)  \nExam option 2: Separate Science (known as Triple Science, 3 GCSEs in Biology, Chemistry, Physics)  \nQAN code: Combined code: 601/8758/X  \nAQA | GCSE | Combined Science: Trilogy Specification at a glance  \n\n| Combined Science | Content | Assessment |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Biology Paper 1 | 1.
