Year 11 BTEC sneaky revision planWhatever your son or daughter says about “homework” they will always have some Science to revise. BTEC students sit a single paper called Unit 8 – Applications of Science in March. The paper is all about planning, analysing and evaluating experiments. The following outline plan is advised for independent study at home.

Using the CGP BTEC First Award in Applications of Science Level 2 – Applications of Science – Unit 8 book…

Term What should you be doing?

Term 1 (3rd Sept-20th Oct) Planning Investigations (pg 5-12)

Term 2 (4th Nov-20th Dec) Presenting and Analysing Data (pg 14-42)

Term 3 (5th Jan-14th Feb) Concluding and Evaluating (pg 44-46), learning glossary keywords (pg 69) and practice exams (pg 49 and online at Edexcel)

Year 11 Single Award sneaky revision planWhatever your son or daughter says about “homework” they will always have some Science to revise. Single Award students sit 3 papers in June – Biology, Chemistry and Physics. There are many different revision books on the market and we encourage students to pick one they are comfortable with. We like the CGP revision guides though. The topics are all the same in all the books though so just select the topic to revise as appropriate. Whichever you use make sure you are using an AQA GCSE Science (not additional) book published after 2011.

Whatever your son or daughter says about “homework” they will always have some Science to revise. This year Triple Award students complete Core Biology, Chemistry and Physics and will start Additional subjects too but do not sit exams this year. By revising topics now – this will ensure they do not pile up work for 9 exams in 2016. The topics are all the same in all the revision books so just select the topic to revise as appropriate. Whichever books you use make sure you are using an AQA GCSE Science and GCSE Additional Science OR BETTER STILL Science Separates books published after 2011. Keep the books for 2016’s exams!
