SynopsisExam Board: AQA Level & Subject: GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy First teaching: September 2016 Next exams: June 2025 AQA approved, Covering the whole of the new 2016 GCSE Physics course, this book is structured around a brand new innovative assessment framework that uses regular check points and tailored intervention to help all students make progress.This book has been entered into the AQA approval process. Written by a team of expert authors for the 2016 AQA specification, this book covers the whole of the new GCSE Physics course. It combines clear and comprehensive explanations with a wealth of practice opportunities, and builds the skills that students will need to succeed. Track students progress in the new linear GCSE course through a brand new, innovative assessment framework. Teaching is organised into four semesters that function as checkpoints. Each spread starts with language and ideas at a lower level and increases in complexity, engaging students of all ability levels Key concept spreads highlight concepts that students must grasp before they can move on Stipulated practicals spreads in each chapter build and test students development of the appropriate skills (e.g. analysing, evaluating and applying to different contexts) Maths skills are embedded throughout the book and tested at the appropriate level Real-life contexts and applications are included to show the students the relevance of the concepts they are studying Prepare students for the demands of the new specification with differentiated questions, worked examples and lots of opportunities to practice Co-teach both Foundation and Higher tier with a single book (the Higher-only content is clearly flagged)", Exam Board: AQA Level & Subject: GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy First teaching: September 2016 Next exams: June 2025 AQA approved Collins AQA GCSE (9-1) Physics for Combined Science: Trilogy Student Book revised edition has been approved by AQA. GCSE Science is changing and AQA GCSE (9-1) Physics for Combined Science:Trilogy from Collins has been developed to embed the skills your students need to succeed in all three assessment objectives, while providing a clear and supportive route through the new, more challenging GCSE content. Each spread starts with language and ideas at a lower level and increases in complexity, engaging students of all ability levels Key concept spreads highlight knowledge that students must grasp before they can move on Dedicated pages on analysing, interpreting and evaluating all the required practicals, so students are fully prepared for the indirect assessment. Maths activities at the appropriate level are embedded throughout, along with Maths skills pages that focus on developing the skills needed for each topic Prepare students for the demands of the new specification with differentiated questions, worked examples and lots of opportunities to practice Co-teach both Foundation and Higher tier with a single book (the Higher-only content is clearly flagged).
