Why study science at GCSE? It’s natural to be curious about the physical

world, and how things work

Studying science develops important skills

Everyone has to make decisions in life that involve science

More and more jobs use science

More help on course choice?

Think about these questions:– What do you like about science?

– What do you want to do after GCSEs?

– How would you rather learn?

– How would you rather earn your marks – exams or coursework?

Talk to your teacher

Look at the website <school and/or C21 sites>

Page 13: Science at GCSE into the Twenty First Century

When will the exams be? What are the coursework dates? What can we do to help (e.g. collect media

reports of science-related stories) What resources will our son/daughter be

given? Can we buy any other resources, e.g.

revision books?
