About this guide
It covers the 0654 syllabus comprehensively, with greater depth than Combined Science: each discipline is presented in full across its key topics, meeting the needs of students heading towards a science pathway.
It is a valuable resource for students who want to build a solid science foundation in English, keep all three subjects in balance and prepare well for the move up to A-Level Biology, Chemistry or Physics.
What is inside
- Biology: characteristics of living things, cells, enzymes, nutrition and transport
- Biology: homeostasis, coordination and response, reproduction and inheritance
- Chemistry: atomic structure, bonding, equations and mole calculations (stoichiometry)
- Chemistry: electrolysis, reaction energetics, rates and equilibrium
- Organic chemistry, the chemistry of materials and metals
- Physics: motion, forces, work, energy and power, and pressure
- Physics: heat, waves, light, electricity, electromagnetism and nuclear physics
- In-depth practice papers across all three disciplines with worked guidance
Who this guide is for
- Students taking the in-depth Co-ordinated Sciences 0654 (double award)
- Anyone planning to take one or more sciences at A-Level
- Students who want a broad science foundation that still has real depth
- Parents investing in double-award science material for their child
- Teachers who need thorough, in-depth revision material aligned to the 0654 syllabus
How to use this guide
- Divide your time evenly across the three disciplines, as the content load is heavy
- Master mole calculations (stoichiometry) in Chemistry and the formulas in Physics
- Organise your knowledge with mind maps for each discipline
- Practise analysing data and describing experiments for the practical component
- Work through Extended papers to get used to questions that demand higher-order thinking
- Revise on a repeating cycle to keep all three areas solid before the exam
Questions about this guide
Why is 0654 called a double award?
Because Co-ordinated Sciences 0654 leads to two IGCSE qualifications, reflecting twice the content and depth of a single science, even though all three disciplines are still studied together.
Should I choose 0654 or study the three sciences separately?
0654 works well when you want all three subjects balanced with good depth. If you plan to specialise in just one science at A-Level, taking that science separately may suit you better; this book is the balanced, time-efficient option.
