3 Triple Science-course structure 3 GCSEs 1 x Biology, 2 x Chemistry, 1 x Physics 9 x 1 hour exams ( 3 x Biology, 3 x Chemistry, 3 x Physics) F/T or H/T 1 X ISA per GCSE (3 in total)- 25% of each GCSE 14 hours a fortnight

4 How can you help your child? Pen, pencil, ruler and calculator every day. Coloured pens or highlighters Homework Go through content tick lists with them so you can identify areas where they are struggling. Revision guides available GCSE Bite size- clips, revision materials, tests. Quiz them using science knowledge organisers. You tube clips Type in AQA Practice past papers- AQA. ALFIE coming soon.

5 Take pride in your work- Draw diagrams with a pencil and label accurately

6 Highlight Key words

7 Content Tick list Evidence of students using content tick lists in the own way to support their learning. DIRT lesson targets are identified.

8 Directed Improvement and Reflection Time Relish the opportunity to act on targets given and improve you understanding of key concepts

9 AlFIE

10 Science knowledge organiser How our bodies defend themselves against infectious diseases Agar Substance used to make jelly on which bacteria can be grown Antibiotic Therapeutic drug that kills bacteria, taken into the body Antibiotic resistance Antibody The ability of bacteria to survive in the presence of an antibiotic Protein normally present in the body or produced in response to an antigen which it neutralises, thus producing an immune response Antitoxin Substance produced by white blood cells that neutralises the effects of toxins Antiseptic Antiviral Bacteria Substance that kills pathogens Therapeutic drug that kills viruses Single-celled organisms that can either be free-living organisms or parasites (they sometimes invade the body and cause disease) Blood plasma Culture Epidemic Fungus (pl. Fungi) Immune system The liquid part of blood A population of microorganisms, grown on a nutrient medium Many people having the same infectious disease Living organisms whose cells have cell walls but cannot photosynthesise A body system which acts as a defence against pathogens such as viruses and bacteria Immunity Inoculating loop Lymphocyte Microorganism When your immune system recognises a pathogen and fights it Metal loop that is used to transfer microorganisms A type of white blood cell Very small organism that can only be viewed through a microscope also known as a microbe MMR MRSA Vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella A form of the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus that is resistant to many antibiotics Nutrient medium Pandemic Liquid or jelly on which microorganisms can be grown When a disease spreads rapidly across many countries perhaps the whole world Pathogen Penicillin Petri dish Phagocytes Resistant strain (of bacteria) A disease causing microorganism A type of antibiotic A sterile dish that is used to grow culture of microorganisms. White blood cells that surround pathogens and digest them with enzymes A population of bacteria that is not killed by an antibiotic Semmelweis Sterile Sterile technique Scientist who worked on controlling the spread of infection in hospitals. Contains no living organisms Handling apparatus and material to prevent microorganisms from entering them Toxin Vaccine Poisonous substance (pathogens make to toxins that make us feel ill) Killed microorganisms, or living but weakened microorganisms, that are given to produce immunity to a particular disease Virus very small infectious organism that reproduces within the cells of living organisms and often causes disease

11 Yr 11 Additional Science Revision Guides The Science department have found an excellent deal on revision guides. An excellent way to prepare for you GCSE s and support homework. Last year students still failed to achieve the top grades on the recall questions a revision guide is excellent way to revise content, along side exam practise for application questions. They cost 2.75 each and you will need one for Core and one for Additional 5.50 Total Collect from Students services (Via Mrs Potter) choose H/T or F/T Please bring the correct money. Sign your name so we know you have them Parent /carers have been e- mailed.
