About the course

If you are studying separate sciences, you'll end up with three GCSEs - Biology, Chemistry and Physics. For each, there are three modules.

Module 1 content is the same as that covered in Core Science (see Core Science B).
Module 2 covers the same content as that in Additional Science (see Additional Science).
The third module is the extra material that makes what would be a science GCSE into a Biology, Chemistry or Physics GCSE.
The same is true for Chemistry and Physics.

Here is the content for the third modules:

13.1 How do dissolved substances get into and out of plants and
animals?
13.2 How are dissolved materials transported around the body?
13.3 How does exercise affect the exchanges taking place within the
body?
13.4 How do exchanges in the kidney help us to maintain the
internal environment in mammals and how has biology helped
us to treat kidney disease?
13.5 How are microorganisms used to make food and drink?
13.6 What other useful substances can we make using
microorganisms?
13.7 How can we be sure we are using microorganisms safely?

13.1 How was the periodic table developed and how can it help us
understand the reactions of elements?
13.2 What are strong and weak acids and alkalis? How can we find
the amounts of acids and alkalis in solutions?
13.3 What is in the water we drink?
13.4 How much energy is involved in chemical reactions?
13.5 How do we identify and analyse substances?

13.1 How do forces have a turning effect?
13.2 What keeps bodies moving in a circle?
13.3 What provides the centripetal force for planets and satellites?
13.4 What do mirrors and lenses do to light?
13.5 What is sound?
13.6 What is ultrasound and how can it be used?
13.7 How can electricity be used to make things move?
13.8 How do generators work?
13.9 How do transformers work?
13.10 What is the life history of stars?
