Science

• Cambridge Combined Sciences – This term in IGCSE Combined Science (we’re in year 2 of the rotation), has studied the circulatory system, gas exchange, respiration, drugs, and reproduction in both plants and humans. We’ve also explored energy flow, food chains, the carbon cycle, and human impacts on ecosystems such as habitat destruction and conservation. In chemistry, we’re now moving on to acids, bases, salts, and the periodic table before starting physics topics later in the year.
• iGCSE Biology – We’ve covered the characteristics and variety of living organisms, levels of organisation, cell structure, biological molecules, and movement of substances. We also studied nutrition, respiration, gas exchange, and transport in both plants and humans. Next, we’ll move on to excretion, coordination and response, and reproduction before finishing with inheritance and revision. 
• iGCSE Chemistry – In IGCSE Chemistry, we’ve completed our first semester covering the states of matter, elements and compounds, atomic structure, the Periodic Table, and different types of bonding. We’re now moving into our second semester, where we’ll explore acids, bases, salts, metal reactivity, and chemical calculations. 
• iGCSE Physics – In IGCSE Physics, we’ve covered units, density and pressure, changes of state, the behaviour of gases, and magnetism, including electromagnetism and electromagnetic induction. We also explored radioactivity, nuclear fission, and fusion. Next, we’ll build on this by studying motion in the universe, stellar evolution, and cosmology, before focusing on astrophysics and final exam revision. 
• GCSE Astronomy –  In GCSE Astronomy (we’re in year 2 of the rotation), we’ve explored the outer planets, the heliosphere, and the origins of the Solar System, along with exoplanets, water in space, and different types of telescopes. We’ve also studied space probes, manned missions, orbital mechanics, and the life cycle of stars. Next, we’ll move on to spectral analysis, star types, and stellar evolution before finishing with galaxies, cosmology, and the origins and future of the universe
