Revision

In GCSE Combined Science Trilogy we recommend revising by using past papers which can be found on the AQA Website: https://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/science/gcse/combined-science-trilogy-8464/assessment-resources?f.Resource+type%7C6=Question+papers

Mrs Eades will put the flashcards on carousel for each of the papers listed above – previous Year 11's using this resource were very successful!

Other useful websites include:

BBC Bitesize GCSE: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/levels/z98jmp3

Please select the science option, then the appropriate subject; biology (single science, then AQA), chemistry (single science, then AQA), physics (single science, then AQA) or combined science (AQA Trilogy). You have a choice of activities, including exam practice, quizzes and videos to help you.

These links take you directly to the AQA science pages. Choose your subject link first and then the topic area you want to study. For example energy, you can and then use the resources to help you. Be aware the physics topic of space is separate science physics ONLY, not trilogy.

MME: https://mmerevise.co.uk/all-past-papers/#gcse

This link will take you to AQA past exam papers. You can choose your subject area and either foundation or higher papers. If you complete them, you can either use the mark schemes provided or hand them to your science teacher for marking and feedback.

Seneca learning: https://senecalearning.com/en-GB/

This is a free-to-use website that allows you to access resources on several subjects. You can choose the ‘free’ ones and your subject area, biology, chemistry, physics or combined science.
