This Three-Year Scheme of Work for Years 9 to 11 is made up of lessons in Collins AQA GCSE Biology / Chemistry / Physics and is matched to the AQA
Biology, Chemistry and Physics GCSE specifications. It offers a flexible approach for KS4 based on eight science lessons per fortnight in Year 9 (usually three
each of Biology and Chemistry, and two of Physics) followed by nine science lessons per fortnight in Years 10 and 11 (usually three each of Biology,
Chemistry and Physics). Lessons can be used for 40-60 minute sessions. Lessons are scheduled to finish in the second term of Year 11 to allow time for
revision and GCSE examinations in the summer term.
