Introduction
 |
A fully supported
science course for 14-16 year old students, with a carefully
matched GCSE assessment scheme. |
 |
|
Completely revised and re-structured
to match the 2003 specification.
|
- Each topic has
its origins in aspects of everyday life which students will
be familiar with either personally or through the media.
- Scientific facts,
concepts, and explanations are introduced as they are needed
for understanding of the topics being studied.
- A wide variety
of different types of teaching and learning activities broaden
students' skills and engage them actively in the learning
process.
- Industrial, technological,
economic, social and environmental aspects of science are
fundamental to the whole course.

an update pack is available from the project
secretary at York.
