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

The Department for Education has made good progress in improving take-up and achievement in areas such as A-Level maths and GCSE Triple Science. However, there has been less success in increasing the number of science teachers, improving take-up of A-Level physics and raising the standards of school science facilities. There is evidence that pupils taking Triple Science GCSE are more likely than those studying combined science to choose science subjects at A-Level and to achieve higher grades. While starting from a low base, pupil take-up of the three individual sciences has increased by almost 150 per cent in the last five years. However, by June 2009, almost half of secondary schools still did not offer Triple Science. Take-up of chemistry and maths A-Level has already exceeded the targets for 2014 set by the Department, but take-up of physics A-Level has increased only slightly since 2005-06. Achievement increased across all science subjects and maths at A-Level between 2002-03 and 2009-10. Until recently, the Department had a target to ensure that all school laboratories were up to a good or excellent standard by 2010. However, it did not collect routine data to measure progress against this target, and the most recent research available found that science facilities were inadequate in around a quarter of secondary schools. Although recruitment of science graduates to train as specialist teachers has increased, the Department is not on course to meet the targets set by the previous Government for recruiting more mathematics and physics teachers by 2014.

The pressure to be seen to be making cuts across the public sector is threatening to undermine both the Government's good record on investment in science and the economic recovery. Whilst the contribution of a strong domestic science base is widely acknowledged, methodological problems with quantifying its precise value to the economy mean that it is in danger of losing out in Whitehall negotiations. Scientists are under increasing pressure to demonstrate the impact of their work and there is concern that areas without immediate technology applications are being undervalued. The Committee believes the Government faced a strategic choice: invest in areas with the greatest potential to influence and improve other areas of spending, or make cuts of little significance now, but that will have a devastating effect upon British science and the economy in the years to come.
