Key stage 4 - AQA Additional Science Year 11

This is a single award GCSE, which could be taken after or at the same time as GCSE Science A or B. This award together with an award in GCSE Science provides the nearest equivalent to the previous GCSE Science: Double Award. The content follows on from that of GCSE Science, and the centre assessment follows the same model as used for Science A and Science B. However, the emphasis of this specification, and the three separate sciences, GCSE Biology, Chemistry and Physics, is somewhat different. Whereas GCSE Science A and B emphasise evaluating evidence and the implications of science for society, these specifications have a greater emphasis on explaining, theorising and modelling in science.
