Science
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/science/aqa/
This website allows you to review your learning with a quick test at the end to
check understanding. However playing the games will not help you make
progress!
www.my-gcsescience.com/
This is an excellent website with short video tutorials, checklists and
worksheets. There is a small fee for joining but if you do not want to pay, most
of the videos are on YouTube. Type in ‘my_gcse science’ and either C1, B1 or P1.
Use your revision guide to help you focus on the correct sections. Ask your
science teacher if you are not sure.
http://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/science/steps-to-success-in-science/revisionmaterials
This website has masses of information and can really help to make you an
expert in answering exam questions. This is best tackled once you are confident
with the contents of the course. There are some useful facts about exam
techniques and revision ideas. Perhaps get your parents to look at this one so
they know what you are going through.

This has lots of information and is well explained. Remember you are doing
GCSE Science now so ignore the KS3 stuff. Do not get distracted by the adverts

Personal Revision Calendar
How to use these pages:
1. Highlight YOUR examination dates from the exam timetable you have
been given.
2. On the following pages, block out any sessions where you are busy and
cannot revise (e.g. attending clubs, part time job).
3. For the other sessions not shaded (when you will be in school!), you
need to devote time to completing tasks for revision, set aside specific
times to revise each subject. Write in these subjects at the times you
will revise them.
4. You should be doing the equivalent of 2 hours per day OUTSIDE of
school as a minimum for the next three weeks to maximise your
success.
5. Make use of the revision websites your teachers recommended earlier
in this booklet.
6. Use techniques you were shown in your study skills session on 25th
March:
 The Journey technique (attach things you need to remember to
planned steps)
 Mnemonics (make up your own and make them catchy!)
 Mind mapping (see how later in this booklet)
 Numbers for letters (see the examples later in this booklet)
TOP TIP: You need a chair and table or desk in a quiet space with no
distractions (for example the TV should be switched off). This will help you to
make best use of your time when working.

date/number:
Examples:
1. Penicillin was discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928
1928 = “A discovery by AlexFlem”
2. The Second World War broke out in 1939
1939 = “A worldwide war commenced”
