Taught lessons
Textbook-style lessons written for this course: explanation, a worked model answer, then marked checks.
GCSE biology: cells, organisation and bioenergetics
Cell structure and transport, enzymes and the digestive system, and the bioenergetics of photosynthesis and respiration.
GCSE biology: inheritance, variation and ecology
Meiosis and genetic crosses, evidence for evolution, and interdependence and human impact in ecosystems.
GCSE chemistry: atomic structure and bonding
Atoms, isotopes and electronic structure, periodic trends, and how ionic, covalent and metallic bonding explain properties.
GCSE chemistry: quantitative chemistry and chemical change
Relative formula mass and moles, conservation of mass in calculations, reactivity, acids and electrolysis.
GCSE physics: energy and electricity
Energy stores, transfers and efficiency, and current, potential difference, resistance and power in circuits.
GCSE physics: forces, motion and waves
Newton's laws and motion graphs, stopping distances and momentum, and the properties and behaviour of waves.
