AQA Science GCSE courses
Below is a list of the new GCSE science courses offered by AQA with links to details of content, exam times and exam papers.
Details are also available at the excellent AQA Science Lab website.
Science A - Sometimes known as Core Science – this is the course normally taken in year 10. Increasingly one or more of the modules are taken, or at least studied, in year 9, now that schools don’t have to spend their time preparing students for the old SAT exams.
Science B - An alternative to science A with the same content, but delivered in a different way to emphasise science in context.
Additional Science - Taken after core science for those wishing to get a second science GCSE or going on to triple science.
Biology - A single GCSE in Biology made up of modules from core and additional along with an extension module.
Chemistry - A single GCSE in Chemistry made up of modules from core and additional along with an extension module.
Physics - A single GCSE in Physics made up of modules from core and additional along with an extension module.
Here are links to details of the old courses on the AQA website. These courses will be examined for the last time in Summer 2012.
