These new resources have been written to match the 2016 OCR GCSE Gateway Science (9-1) specifications. Built-in assessment and differentiation supports students of all abilities and makes progress tracking easy. Maths skills and practical skills are developed throughout with ramped practice questions and differentiated learning outcomes.
This book aims to cover all the GCSE Physics material needed to meet the specifications of the examining boards Edexcel, AQA, WJEC and OCR (both 21st Century Science and Gateway) both for single and double awards. The content also covers the additional topics necessary for the Physics GCSE single award. It is the third book in the series following
These new Twenty First Century Science resources have been written alongside the 2016 specifications. Students of all abilities are supported with separate Higher and Foundation books, and maths and practical skills are developed throughout. An assessment item for every assessable learning outcome provides evidence of students' progress.
This revision guide provides in-depth coverage of all the externally assessed course content for GCSE OCR B Additional Science. This book can be used to support study throughout the course and as a revision aid in the build up to exams. * In-depth coverage provides everything required for thorough exam preparation * Detailed explanations and diagrams help consolidate and build on knowledge throughout the course * Clear design and direct references to the specification provide structured revision and maximum assurance.

Produced in partnership with OCR, University of York Science Education Group and Nuffield Foundation, these second editions of the Twenty First Century Science resources provide the best support for the new specifications and make the transition as smooth as possible. The Student Book helps you create engaging science lessons.
A revision guide for those doing separate sciences, it aims to cover what they need to know for their course. It contains separate science content that double science people don't have to cover.
The Committee's report examines science and mathematics teaching in secondary schools in England, focusing on the following issues: the take-up of science and mathematics at GCSE and A-level, the provision of careers advice to students, problems in the recruitment and retention of teachers, the quality of teaching methods and the role of continuing professional development. The Committee finds that effective science teaching in schools is essential, both in order to ensure a satisfactory general level of scientific literacy in society, and to enable the next generation of scientists and engineers to progress into higher education and beyond. It argues that the current examination system forces students to study an excessively narrow range of subjects at too early an age, and it recommends that the Government should reconsider the Tomlinson proposals for a broader diploma-based system for 14-19 year old students based on the International Baccalaureate. This would ensure that students receive a more rounded education and are not made to over-specialise before they are able to see the merits of studying science and mathematics. Concerns are also raised about the shortage of science teachers, particularly specialist physics and chemistry teachers, the quality of careers advice in schools, and the importance of practical science in schools.
