The course develops students’ ability to explore, explain, theorise and model using scientific evidence, starting in Year 9 at Wadebridge School. Assessment includes six written exams plus 21 required practicals. The document also outlines GCSE Separate Sciences, covering three GCSEs with additional Biology, Chemistry and Physics content, assessed by two longer exams per subject and eight required practicals each.","Introduction / Why Study Combined Science (Trilogy)?  \nGCSE Combined Science (Trilogy) is a double GCSE taken by the majority of students. It builds on the Key Stage 3 curriculum and covers the National Curriculum Programme of Study for Science at Key Stage 4. It encourages students to explore, explain, theorise and model in science and develops a critical approach to scientific evidence. At Wadebridge School students start studying towards their GCSE Combined Science in Year 9.  \nExam Board  \nThe exam board is AQA. More details including the full draft specification for GCSE Combined Science (Trilogy) is available at: [http://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/science/gcse](http://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/science/gcse)  \n[What Will I Study / What Skills Will I Develop?](What Will I Study / What Skills Will I Develop?)  \n[GCSE Combined Science](GCSE Combined Science) ([Trilogy](Trilogy)) is taught as 3 subjects:  \nBiology  \nCell biology Organisation Infection and response Bioenergetics  \nHomeostasis and response Inheritance, variation and evolution Ecology  \nChemistry  \nAtomic structure and the periodic table Bonding, structure, and the properties of matter Quantitative chemistry  \nChemical changes Energy changes  \nThe rate and extent of chemical change  \nOrganic chemistry Chemical analysis Chemistry of the atmosphere Using resources  \nPhysics  \nEnergy  \nElectricity  \nParticle model of matter Atomic structure Forces  \nWaves  \nMagnetism and electromagnetism  \nHow Will I Be Assessed?  \n􀁸 The Combined Science GCSE is examined by six 1 hour 15 min written exams, each of which is worth 16.7% . There are two exams on each subject Biology, Chemistry and Physics  \n􀁸 There are 21 required practicals that are delivered throughout the course. There will be questions relating to these practicals on the written exam papers.  \nWhat Might Combined Science GCSE Lead To?  \n􀁸 GCSE Core Science gives you a good grounding in Science. Success in Combined Science can provide access to AS/A2 Science courses, including Applied Science and Psychology. In the long term, if you decide to pursue your scientific studies, it can lead to an almost limitless number of job opportunities. Highly qualified scientists are very much in demand and their skills are required in many jobs.  \nGCSE Separate Sciences  \nIntroduction / Why Study Separate Sciences?  \nThis course is offered for students who wish to study for three GCSEs in Science. It is well suited to students who have demonstrated a keen interest and an aptitude for the subject in KS3 . It should be noted that it is not a pre-requisite for the study of A level Sciences. It aims to encourage you to explore, explain, theorise and model in Science, develops a critical approach to scientific evidence and helps to prepare you for further studies in Science. The course will include all of the elements from Combined Science (Trilogy) but in addition extra units in Biology, Chemistry and Physics are studied leading to separate Biology, Chemistry and Physics GCSEs. Please note that students must take all three GCSEs if given this option.  \nExam Board  \nThe exam board is AQA.
