It also lists advanced AQA information resources, equation sheets, mock exam dates, the final GCSE exam schedule, and guidance for parents on planning revision and using feedback for targeted improvement.","WHS GCSE Science Information – Y11  \nGeneral introduction  \nAt Westborough High School your child will be studying either GCSE Combined (Trilogy) or GCSE Triple Science (biology, chemistry and physics) . They will be aware of the qualification that they are studying and their class teacher will have notified them on the tier that they will be sitting in order for them to achieve the best grades.  \nHow will students be assessed  \nCombined Science  \n􀁸 There are six papers: two biology, two chemistry and two physics. Each of the papers will assess knowledge and understanding from distinct topic areas.  \n􀂃 Biology Paper 1-topics 1–4: Cell Biology; Organisation; Infection and response; and Bioenergetics.  \n􀂃 Biology Paper 2-topics 5–7: Homeostasis and response; Inheritance, variation and evolution; and Ecology.  \n􀂃 Chemistry Paper 1-topics 8–12: Atomic structure and the periodic table; Bonding, structure, and the properties of matter; Quantitative chemistry; Chemical changes; and Energy changes.  \n􀂃 Chemistry Paper 2-topics 13–17: The rate and extent of chemical change; Organic chemistry; Chemical analysis; Chemistry of the atmosphere; and Using resources.  \n􀂃 Physics Paper 1-topics 18–21: Energy; Electricity; Particle model of matter; and Atomic structure.  \n􀂃 Physics Paper 2-topics 22–24: Forces; Waves; and Magnetism and electromagnetism  \n􀁸 Each exam will be a written paper, 1 hour 15 minutes in duration.  \n􀁸 There will be 70 marks on each paper, consisting of multiple choice, structured, closed short answer and open responses, with each paper making up 16.7% of the final GCSE grade, overall two GCSE grades will be awarded.  \nTriple Science  \n􀂃 There are six papers: two biology, two chemistry and two physics. Each of the papers will assess knowledge and understanding from distinct topic areas.  \n􀂃 Your child will receive 3 separate grades for biology, chemistry and physics.  \no Biology Paper 1-topics 1–4: Cell Biology; Organisation; Infection and response; and Bioenergetics.  \no Biology Paper 2-topics 5–7: Homeostasis and response; Inheritance, variation and evolution; and Ecology.  \no Chemistry Paper 1-topics 1–5: Atomic structure and the periodic table; Bonding, structure, and the properties of matter; Quantitative chemistry; Chemical changes; and Energy changes.  \no Chemistry Paper 2-topics 6–10: The rate and extent of chemical change; Organic chemistry; Chemical analysis; Chemistry of the atmosphere; and Using resources.  \no Physics Paper 1-topics 1–4: Energy; Electricity; Particle model of matter; and Atomic structure.  \no Physics Paper 2-topics 5–8: Forces; Waves; Magnetism and electromagnetism; and Space.  \n􀂃 Each exam will be a written paper, 1 hour 45 minutes in duration.  \n􀂃 There will be 100 marks on each paper, consisting of multiple choice, structured, closed short answer and open responses, with each paper making up 50% of the final GCSE grade for each science discipline.  \nTo help students focus on their exam preparation, the AQA exam board have released advanced information on what the exams will cover, along with an equation sheet for the physics components. These can be found by clicking on the relevant links below:  \n􀂃  GCSE Combined  \n􀂃  GCSE Biology  \n􀂃  GCSE Chemistry  \n􀂃  GCSE Physics  \nEquation sheets  \n􀂃  GCSE Combined  \n􀂃  GCSE Physics  \nWhat are the Exam dates?  \nThe dates for the mock exams are:  \nPHYSICS CHEMISTRY BIOLOGY  \nWednesday 2nd March Thursday 3rd March Monday 7th March  \nAfternoon Morning  \nMorning  \nTeachers will mark the papers, providing individual question level analysis for your child to then focus on where there are gaps in knowledge. To complement and provide feedback to parents there will be parents evening on Wednesday 30th March. Here you will have an opportunity to talk to subject teachers about how your child has done, and about how they can improve further in the run up to their final GCSE exam.  \nThe actual GCSE exam dates are:  \nBiology paper 1 Chemistry Paper 1 Physics Paper","cbCaiqR6E8A6czaQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqR6E8A6czaQ","pdf",817593,1,2,"English","en",105,"# General introduction\n# How will students be assessed\n## Combined Science\n## Triple Science\n# Equation sheets and advanced information\n# What are the Exam dates?\n## Mock exam dates\n## Actual GCSE exam dates\n# How can parents help plan for success in the GCSE exams?\n# Useful websites","[{\"question\":\"What science courses are Y11 students offered at Westborough High School?\",\"answer\":\"Students study either GCSE Combined (Trilogy) or GCSE Triple Science covering biology, chemistry and physics.
