AQA Level 2 GCSE (9-1) in Combined Science Trilogy (601/8758/X)
Science is the curiosity and search for knowledge of how concepts work and why they work in this way, using observation and experimentation. Science works alongside many different subjects, such as, Maths, English, D.T. and Art to support the development and understanding of our world today. During science lessons, our students will develop skills in communication and working with others to test concepts for themselves.
Science is wonder
The principle focus of Science at New Heights is to develop a deeper understanding of a range of scientific ideas in the subjects of biology, chemistry and physics. Our young people will begin to see the connections between these subjects and become aware of some of the ‘big ideas’ underpinning scientific knowledge and understanding.
The order of the units has been chosen by thinking about the connections between topics in each subject area of biology, chemistry and physics. This has been mapped through a two-year plan to ensure significant opportunities for progression by all students. The flexible content aims to deepen scientific knowledge, ensuring key concepts are understood.
Science is discovery
