We aim to provide students with the knowledge of interactions between biological, chemical, and physical systems that enable them to explain everyday experiences. We endeavor to empower students with the knowledge required to continue questioning the world around them beyond their Grace journey. Students will gain key skills that will facilitate their investigation of scientific ideas both theoretically and practically, as well as through extra-curricular events, encouraging a healthy curiosity about the nature of the universe. This allows our students to "think like a scientist", from both a knowledge and skills-based perspective. Science at Grace Academy will foster an approach that allows our students to recognize the diversity of scientists and promote and ignite aspirations for a career in a scientific field. Topics: • Vectors and scalars • Moments • Motion along a straight line • Projectile motion Resolving and simplifying vectors is foundational knowledge for all of the mechanics and materials topics. Moments is a simple and logical extension of the vectors topic while segwaying students into a more rich understanding of the scientific principles of physics. Motion along a straight line is a simplified 1 dimensional equivalent to projectile motion which requires a more nuanced understanding.
For level 3 qualifications, students require at least 5 GCSEs (or level 2 equivalent) at grade 5 or above. In addition, individual subjects may have specific further requirements.
Three Summative assessments a year by the school assessment calendar – one per term, or in line with the TLT Assessment calendar.
