This volume covers the 2006 Gateway Science specification for all exam boards - AQA, Edexcel and OCR. The content emphasises the shift from fact learning to investigating and understanding how science works, making it more exciting, up-to-date and relevant to everyday life.
This workbook offers accessible practice to help manage GCSE Science revision and prepare for the exam efficiently. The content is broken into manageable sections and advice is given to help build confidence. Tips and techniques provide support throughout the revision process.
Answering six mark questions in your GCSE is much more than just writing down six correct things. There is a skill to answering them that needs to be practiced. Here I have written 25 questions on each subject, given you the answers and guided you through how to answer to get full marks. The more you practice, the more confident you'll be in the exam! Example Question58 - Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy SourcesIn June 2017, for the first time, over 50% of energy in the UK was supplied by renewable energy. The UK government is leading a drive to promote the increased used if renewable energy sources for generating electricity. Evaluate the use of renewable and non-renewable energy sources.Planning.... * Evaluate give good points, bad points your option and justify your opinion* You can use a table for planning* What are the good points (aim for at least 2)?* What are the bad points (aim for at least 2)?* What is your opinion?* Explain why you have that opinion* Don't stress too much about your opinion, the examiner is never going to cross-examine you on this, just make one up Table of Contents* Exam command words * Glossary of exam command words * How to answer 6-mark questions * How the examiners will mark your work * Biology * 1 - Drugs * 2 - Respiration * 3 - Genetic Engineering * 4 - Plant Growth * 5 - Digestive System * 6 - Reflex Arcs * 7 - Leaves * 8 - Pathogens * 9 - Genetic Testing * 10 - Contraception * 11 - IVF * 12 - Defence Against Pathogens * 13 - Drugs in Sport * 14 - Cloning * 15 - Stem Cells * 16 - Menstrual Cycle * 17 - IVF * 18 - Cells * 19 - Enzymes * 20 - Homeostasis * 21 - Blood * 22 - Genetic Disorders * 23 - Enzymes * 24 - Hormonal Contraception. * 25 - Plants * Chemistry * 26 - Covalent bonding * 27 - Rates of Reaction (concentration) * 28 - Atoms and Ions * 29 - Magnesium Chloride * 30 - Reactivity series * 31 - Extracting Copper * 32 - Rates of Reaction (Temperature) * 33 - Water * 34 - Properties of mystery white powders * 35 - Fractional Distillation * 36 - Diamond and Graphite * 37 - Le Chatelier's Principle * 38 - Evolution of Atmosphere * 39 - Life Cycle Assessment * 40 - Metals * 41 - Carbon in the Atmosphere * 42 - Reactivity in Group 1 and Group 7 * 43 - States of Matter * 44 - Rate of Reaction (surface area) * 45 - The Periodic Table * 46 - Models of the Atom * 47 -Group 1 * 48 - Group 7 * 49 - Aluminium Electrolysis * 50 - Acids and Alkalis * Physics * 51 - Generators * 52 - Radioactivity * 53 - Journeys * 54 - Thermistors * 55 - Nuclear Power * 56 - Isotopes * 57 - Forces * 58 - Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy Sources * 59 -AC/DC * 60 - Surfaces * 61 - Car Safety * 62 - Climate Change * 63 - Heating * 64 - National Grid * 65 -Energy Changes * 66 - Diodes * 67 - Circuits * 68 - Waves * 69 - Electromagnetic Spectrum * 70 - Loudspeakers * 71 - Waves * 72 - Newton's Laws of Motion * 73 - Atmosphere * 74 - Weight and Mass * 75 -Electrical Safety * Answers
