Description

This specially written topic will focus on skills relating to GCSE Science Assessment Objective 3 (Experimental skills, analysis and evaluation of data and methods) which is worth around 20% of an IGCSE sciences qualification. AO3 can be an area many students find difficult and often underperform in.

Together we will explore different mathematical concepts, how they relate to science, scientific investigation skills, exam technique and more. This is a six-week topic in Term 4 (starting w/c 24 Feb).

Sample mathematical content includes:

  • Percentages
  • Fractions
  • Area and volume
  • Ratios
  • Standard form
  • Significant figures
  • Sampling
  • Averages
  • Graph skills

Sample scientific investigation content includes:

  • Understanding key vocabulary eg precise, accurate, valid, hypothesis, variables
  • Writing methods
  • Key equipment
  • Safety procedures
  • Designing investigations

Some homework will be set (marked and self-marked). Group size is uncapped, student cameras can be on or off (hopefully on!). If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
