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