Exam Board: OCR Level & Subject: GCSE Combined Science First
teaching: September 2016 Next exams: June 2023 OCR endorsed GCSE
Science is changing and OCR Gateway GCSE (9-1) Physics for Combined
Science from Collins has been developed to embed the skills your
students need to succeed in all three assessment objectives, while
providing a clear and supportive route through the new, more
challenging GCSE content. Each spread starts with language and
ideas at a lower level and increases in complexity, engaging
students of all ability levels Key concept spreads highlight
knowledge that students must grasp before they can move on
Dedicated pages on analysing, interpreting and evaluating
practicals, so students are fully prepared for the indirect
assessment. Maths activities at the appropriate level are embedded
throughout, along with Maths skills pages that focus on developing
the skills needed for each topic Prepare students for the demands
of the new specification with differentiated questions, worked
examples and lots of opportunities to practice Co-teach both
Foundation and Higher tier with a single book (the Higher-only
content is clearly flagged).
Get Ahead in Physics covers the essentials for GCSE science in a
book you can start and finish - without falling asleep in the
middle! Each chapter is tied to a key topic for studying Physics;
learn about: - The Particle Theory of Matter - Energy - Radiation -
Electricity - Newton's Laws - Waves - Electromagnetism - and
Cosmology Along the way, hear fascinating TRUE stories of the
Philosopher's Stone, radioactive energy drinks and a couple of
levitating frogs... Each chapter ends with an "at a glance"
bullet-point summary of the topic and a bonus section exploring
fascinating extra-curricular science (everything from
Schroedinger's cat to quantum mechanics!). With words by The Times
Science Editor Tom Whipple and brilliant pictures by James Davies,
this book is designed to be used alongside your GCSE textbooks and
revision guides - not only intended to help you revise for your
exams, but to bring Physics to life in all its weirdness and
wonder.
The idea behind this category of the encyclopaedias is to give

This Foundation Workbook is designed to support the development of
key literacy and numeracy skills of students in the 1-3 grade
range, as well as building confidence in answering open response
questions. The amount of scaffolded support decreases throughout
the workbook to encourage independent learning. - Summarises all
the Foundation content to be learned for each topic - Provides
plenty of practice questions - Builds confidence by showing how to
answer questions or work through calculations - Helps students to
improve their answers by focusing on use of key scientific
vocabulary, how to link key concepts, and work with graphs Each
topic opens with a bulleted summary of the key ideas, reminding
students of the key scientific vocabulary and equations they should
be able to recall. The questions begin with confidence-building,
low demand questions (multiple choice, matching, sentence
completion or closed short answer) leading to more open questions
including calculations as part of structured questions. The
questions include applying and analysing as well as recall, for
example bringing in skills used in analysing results from practical
work. Frequent support notes provide hints and tips on key
vocabulary, how to answer open response questions (for example by
writing causal explanations), strategies for decoding questions
(for example by identifying key words in the question) and how to
interpret information from tables and graphs. 'Show me' writing
frames demonstrate how to build longer answers, how to work with
equations in science and how to convert units. In later pages the
level of scaffolding is gradually reduced by removing the guided
support so that students are supported in becoming independent
learners throughout their GCSE course.
Exam Board: SQA Level: National 5 Subject: Physics First Teaching:
September 2017 First Exam Summer 2018 This second edition has been
comprehensively updated to reflect the changes made by the SQA to
the National 5 Course Specification with chapters on the following
areas of physics: Electricity, Properties of matter, Waves,
Radiation, Dynamics, and Space. - Covers the new specification with
all the new topics in the SQA examinations - Provides thorough exam
preparation, with practice exercises - Organised to make it easy to
plan, manage and monitor student progress
Briefly explains the effects of light and includes experiments to
demonstrate.
Full answers are available in a separate answer book
(9781782944898) - or you can buy a version including answers all in
one workbook (9781782944942). When it comes to Grade 9-1 GCSE
Physics exam prep, nothing beats good old-fashioned practice. This
Exam Practice Workbook is bursting with realistic exam-style
questions for the entire AQA course (Higher level), including
coverage of Working Scientifically, AO3 practical skills and all
the required practical activities. Every question is labelled with
a grade, so it's easy for students to tailor their practice for
their target grade or focus on the tough stuff! What's more, we've
also put together some free "What to Expect in the Exam"
information, available via a link in the book! For the perfect
revision combo, check out our matching AQA GCSE Physics Higher
level Revision Guide (9781782945581).
