17 KS4 Programme of Study Subject: Chemistry GCSE Year Group: 9 Term collection dates 23/10/15 Programme of study All substances are made of atoms. An atom is the smallest part of an element that can exist. Atoms of each element are represented by a chemical symbol, eg O represents an atom of oxygen. There are about 100 different elements. Key assessment Elements are shown in the periodic table. Michaelmas Sep Oct WINDOW 1 05/10/15 Compounds are formed from elements by chemical reactions. Compounds contain two or more elements chemically combined in fixed proportions and can be represented by formulae using the symbols of the atoms.

20 KS4 Programme of Study Subject: Biology GCSE Year Group: 9 Term collection dates Programme of study Key assessment 23/10/ Cell biology Cell structure 4.12 Plant and Animal cells Most animal cells have a nucleus, cytoplasm, membrane, mitochondria and ribosomes. Plant and algal cells also have a cell wall and often have chloroplasts and a permanent vacuole. Functions of the organelles. Michaelmas Sep Oct WINDOW 1 05/10/ Cell specialisation Cell differentiation Cells differentiate to form different types of cells. Animal cells differentiate at an early stage, whereas many plant cells can differentiate throughout life. Differentiation is the generation of specialised cells which acquire different organelles to enable them to carry out specific functions. Mid Unit Test Cells may be specialised to carry out a particular function. Plant and animal cells are eukaryotic cells which have a membrane, cytoplasm and a nucleus Bacterial cells Bacterial cells are prokaryotic cells. They are smaller than eukaryotic cells and have a cell wall, membrane and cytoplasm, but do not have a nucleus. Their genetic material is a single loop of DNA or several small rings of DNA called plasmids in the cytoplasm.

21 Culturing microorganisms Bacteria multiply by simple cell division (binary fission) as often as once every 20 minutes if they have enough nutrients and a suitable temperature. Bacteria can be grown in a nutrient broth solution or as colonies on an agar gel plate. Uncontaminated cultures of microorganisms are required for investigating the action of disinfectants and antibiotics. Required practical 1: investigate the effect of antiseptics or antibiotics on bacterial growth Microscopy An electron microscope has a much higher magnification and resolution than a light microscope, so it can be used to study cells in much finer detail and show organelles. real size = image size magnification Christmas Nov Dec WINDOW 2 07/12/15 08/01/ Stem cells Stem cells are unspecialised cells that can differentiate to form many different types of cells. Stem cells from human embryos and adult bone marrow can be cloned and made to differentiate into different cells, eg nerve cells. Stem cells may be used to treat paralysis and diabetes in the future. In therapeutic cloning an embryo with the same genes as the patient is produced. Cells from this embryo will not be rejected by the patient. Risks eg transfer of viruses, associated with the use of stem cells in medicine. Mid Unit test Stem cells from meristems in plants are used to produce clones quickly and cheaply. End of Unit test 4.2 Organisation Principles of organisation Organisational hierarchy

22 Cells are the building blocks of living organisms. A tissue is a group of cells with a similar structure and function. Organs are groups of tissues working together. Organs are organised into organ systems. An organism is made up of several organ systems Animal tissues, organs and organ systems The human digestive system The structure and functions of the digestive system Properties of enzymes Enzymes are biological catalysts. The properties of enzymes. The lock and key theory and collision theory can be used to explain enzyme action Human digestive enzymes Enzymes in the digestive system chemically digest food into small, soluble molecules that can be absorbed. Names of enzymes with substrates, products and sites of production. Bile is made by the liver and stored in the gall bladder. It helps in the digestion of fats by neutralising acid from the stomach and emulsifying fats. Different enzymes work best at different temperatures and ph values Required practical 2 Investigate the effect of a factor on the rate of an enzyme-controlled reaction. Epiphany Jan Feb WINDOW 3 29/02/16 18/03/ The heart and blood vessels The heart is a double pump. How the heart is adapted for its function. The names of the blood vessels associated with the heart. Pacemaker cells regulate the beating of the heart. Artificial pacemakers correct irregularities in heart rate.

23 How the lungs are adapted for efficient gas exchange Structure and function of arteries, veins and capillaries Blood Blood is a tissue consisting of plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Plasma transports dissolved chemicals and proteins around the body. Red blood cells transport oxygen attached to haemoglobin. White blood cells help to protect the body against infection. Platelets are fragments of cells involved in blood clotting Coronary heart disease Fatty material builds up in coronary arteries reducing blood flow to the heart muscle. Stents can be used to keep the coronary arteries open. Statins reduce cholesterol levels, so fatty material is deposited more slowly. Faulty heart valves can be replaced with biological or mechanical ones. Heart failure can be treated with a heart and lung transplant. Artificial hearts can be used whilst waiting for a transplant, or to allow the heart to rest and recover End of Unit Test Health issues and Effect of lifestyle on non-communicable diseases Easter Mar April Health is the state of physical and mental well-being. Factors such as diet, stress and life situations can have a serious effect on physical and mental health. Diseases are major causes of ill health. Different diseases may interact: defects in the immune system increase the chance of catching an infectious disease. Viral infections can trigger cancers. End of Unit Test End of Unit Test

24 Immune reactions can trigger allergies. Physical ill-health can lead to depression and mental illness. Various risk factors are linked to some non-communicable disease Cancers (malignant tumours) result from uncontrolled cell division. Cancer cells may invade neighbouring tissues, or break off and spread to other parts of the body in the blood, where they form secondary tumours Plant organs and Plant tissues The leaf Plant organs include stems, roots and leaves. Organs are made up of different tissues, eg meristem tissue at growing tips. The leaf is the organ of photosynthesis. Examples of tissues in a leaf: epidermis, palisade and spongy mesophyll, xylem, phloem, guard cells and stomata. How these tissues are adapted for their function. Whitsun May June Plant transport systems The roots, stem and leaves form a plant transport system. Root hair cells absorb water by osmosis and mineral ions by diffusion and active transport. (See next lesson). Xylem tissue transports water and dissolved ions. The flow of water from the roots to leaves is called the transpiration stream. Xylem tissue is composed of hollow tubes strengthened with lignin. Phloem tissue transports dissolved sugars from the leaves to other parts of the plant. The movement of food through phloem is called translocation. Phloem cells have pores in their end walls for movement of cell sap Active transport Active transport involves the movement of a substance against a concentration gradient and requires energy from respiration. End of Unit Test

25 Mineral ions can be absorbed by active transport into plant root hairs from very dilute solutions in the soil. Sugar can be absorbed by active transport from the gut into the blood. Trinity Jun July WINDOW 4 20/6/16 07/07/16 REVISION End of Unit Test

63 KS4 Programme of Study Year group: 12 Subject: applied Science Term collection dates Programme of study MG SC VB Key assessment Michaelmas Sep Oct WINDOW 1 05/10/15 23/10/15 Science at Work This unit will give candidates the opportunity to investigate the importance of science, and the people involved, in a wide range of organisations. Candidates will have the opportunity to investigate the science really used and the type of work actually carried out, and to carry out some standard procedures. Coursework records of candidate s survey of four science-based organisations with an in-depth study of one of them and information on health and safety issues; information showing an understanding of the impact on society of the candidate s one chosen organisation, providing evidence that the candidate Monitoring the Human Body Cellular respiration is the process by which every living cell obtains energy for its activities. This makes it a useful process to target when monitoring the general state and activity of the human body. The way in which the heart and lungs of an individual are functioning can give a good indication of the general state of health of that person. Heart rate, ventilation rate and the chemical state of the blood in circulation are useful physiological indicators. It is therefore important that candidates know something about the structure of the cardiovascular and respiratory system and the way they work. Chemicals for a Purpose In studying this unit, candidates will learn about the range of chemicals manufactured in the UK. Candidates will learn about the chemistry behind making manufacturing-processes operate efficiently, and how the conditions they use are chosen. Candidates will study the properties and actions of examples of chemical products used in consumer goods (such as detergents) and will prepare and analyse a sample of two products (one organic and one inorganic) on a laboratory scale.

There are many molecules that may be identified using relatively simple chemical tests and/or by the use of infrared spectroscopy. Chemical analysis is the key to investigating unknowns and confirming the components of chemical compounds. Analytical chemists and forensic scientists are amongst the professionals that use chemical analysis. Mixtures of Monitoring Continues Physiological indicators measured in a hospital or a fitness clinic can be used to check a person s state of health and general fitness, to check whether they are recovering from an injury or operation or to help follow the progress of a clinical condition. Physiological indicators are measured in a variety of ways. Measuring equipment used in this area varies in complexity. However, in general they are relatively user-friendly. The production of images using electronic monitoring devices. Candidates will become acutely aware of the significance of Chemicals for a Purpose The chemical industry produces both organic and inorganic compounds. These have different properties and so are used in different ways. Chemists represent compounds using different types of formulae and research the properties of compounds to work out how they can be used. Candidates need to learn about the range of chemicals produced by the chemical industry. The way that chemical products are used depends on their properties and reactions. Chemicals from oil are called petrochemicals. Oil is used as a raw material for making huge amounts See Coursework

65 compounds may be separated and the components identified using a technique called chromatography. A range of chromatography techniques are used in both forensic and industrial applications. These range from basic paper and thin layer chromatography to high performance gas-liquid chromatography.

The report also includes considerations of energy efficiency and environmental impact; A study of large-scale and small-scale generation, to include energy transfer involved. Work to show data and calculations of fuel/energy costs; Evidence that candidates have safely completed three practical analyses, to include a range of both qualitative and computer technology in modern medicine in terms of data attainment, management and use in diagnosis Health and Safety issues in the work place make it essential that good practice guidelines are clearly stated and understood. Students need to be aware that the decision to carry out a program of diagnosis and treatment involves consideration of other issues that might affect the patient. It may not be a simple case of medical expedience. of the chemicals we use everyday, including plastics, synthetic fibres and detergents. Some chemicals are produced on a very large scale. These processes need to run as cheaply and efficiently as possible, and also need to follow environmental considerations. Chemists design these processes to use as little energy as possible. One way of lowering energy demand is to use catalysts. Catalysts are used in the manufacture of fertilizers, plastics, fuels and many other materials. End of unit (monitoring the Human Body)

Epiphany Jan Feb WINDOW 3 29/02/16 18/03/16 Forensic Science The basic principle of forensic science, that every contact leaves a trace, was identified by one of its pioneers, Edmond Locard. By studying this unit, candidates will learn how this evidence is collected and the basic science underpinning the analysis of the main types of forensic evidence that may be presented in court. Candidates will carry out simple forensic analyses, acquiring knowledge of more complex procedures, and report the results. Candidates will evaluate the reliability of different types of forensic evidence in securing a conviction. Coursework Candidates will conduct an investigation into forensic science. Candidates evidence will Cells and Molecules Professional biologists, chemists and molecular biologists are continually carrying out research into the structure and functioning of the cell. Molecular biology is the study of the molecules and the chemical interactions that occur within cells. The cell is a complete and functioning biological unit that acts as a building block for all living things. In order to understand how the cell works, we need to look at some of the structures found within the cell and understand the role that each plays in the successful functioning of the cell. In order to fully understand cells, we not only need to understand the ultrastructure of a cell but also the role of some of the chemical molecules found within it. These molecules range from Coursework an example of one industrial process that involves the use of a catalyst, whose action candidates will explain. Candidates will show an understanding of the social, economic and environmental impact of the product produced in the process; a sample and account of the preparation of each of two products (one inorganic and one organic) that have been synthesized, purified and analysed in the laboratory.

67 Easter Mar April include: a knowledge and understanding of the need to preserve and record the crime scene, and the physical, biological and chemical techniques used to collect and visualise forensic evidence safely, including ethical considerations; a report based on a forensic case study, on evidence and proof, and work which demonstrates the use of calculations to support forensic measurements or observations; describe physical techniques e.g. use of adhesive tape, forceps, plaster casts, vacuuming for the safe collection of evidence and recognise the situations in which these techniques are used (collecting hair samples, fibres, footprints, tool marks, tyre prints); describe biological techniques e.g. the simple water molecule to the more complex polymer of DNA that is found within the nucleus. Scientists also need to carry out chemical tests for the presence of these molecules when analysing the contents of cells. An important skill is the ability to accurately measure the size of cells, count the numbers of cells on a microscope slide and calculate the number of cells in a given volume of liquid. Scientists who work in pathology laboratories in hospitals often need to know the relative numbers of red and white blood cells in samples of blood as this can provide valuable information for the diagnosis of certain diseases and conditions.

117 KS4 Programme of Study Year group: 12 Subject: applied Science Term collection dates Programme of study MG SC VB Key assessment Michaelmas Sep Oct WINDOW 1 05/10/15 23/10/15 Science at Work This unit will give candidates the opportunity to investigate the importance of science, and the people involved, in a wide range of organisations. Candidates will have the opportunity to investigate the science really used and the type of work actually carried out, and to carry out some standard procedures. Coursework records of candidate s survey of four science-based organisations with an in-depth study of one of them and information on health and safety issues; information showing an understanding of the impact on society of the candidate s one chosen organisation, providing evidence that the candidate Monitoring the Human Body Cellular respiration is the process by which every living cell obtains energy for its activities. This makes it a useful process to target when monitoring the general state and activity of the human body. The way in which the heart and lungs of an individual are functioning can give a good indication of the general state of health of that person. Heart rate, ventilation rate and the chemical state of the blood in circulation are useful physiological indicators. It is therefore important that candidates know something about the structure of the cardiovascular and respiratory system and the way they work. Chemicals for a Purpose In studying this unit, candidates will learn about the range of chemicals manufactured in the UK. Candidates will learn about the chemistry behind making manufacturing-processes operate efficiently, and how the conditions they use are chosen. Candidates will study the properties and actions of examples of chemical products used in consumer goods (such as detergents) and will prepare and analyse a sample of two products (one organic and one inorganic) on a laboratory scale. Coursework a description of two examples of inorganic and two examples of organic chemical products, discussing their uses, properties See coursework of assignment details Interim Test on circulatory system and pulmonary system

118 has completed relevant calculations either using provided data or on at least one practical procedure carried out; evidence that candidates have completed safely two practical procedures and recorded, processed and evaluated the results and chemical structure. Candidates will include a detailed account of the chemistry of two compounds, one of which is made from oil, showing how their structures and chemistry relate directly to their uses; Christmas Nov Dec WINDOW 2 07/12/15 08/01/16 Analysis at Work Principles of analytical techniques used in forensic, pathology and research laboratories, and also in the chemical and energy industries. There are many molecules that may be identified using relatively simple chemical tests and/or by the use of infrared spectroscopy. Chemical analysis is the key to investigating unknowns and confirming the components of chemical compounds. Analytical chemists and forensic scientists are amongst the professionals that use chemical analysis. Mixtures of Monitoring Continues Physiological indicators measured in a hospital or a fitness clinic can be used to check a person s state of health and general fitness, to check whether they are recovering from an injury or operation or to help follow the progress of a clinical condition. Physiological indicators are measured in a variety of ways. Measuring equipment used in this area varies in complexity. However, in general they are relatively user-friendly. The production of images using electronic monitoring devices. Candidates will become acutely aware of the significance of Chemicals for a Purpose The chemical industry produces both organic and inorganic compounds. These have different properties and so are used in different ways. Chemists represent compounds using different types of formulae and research the properties of compounds to work out how they can be used. Candidates need to learn about the range of chemicals produced by the chemical industry. The way that chemical products are used depends on their properties and reactions. Chemicals from oil are called petrochemicals. Oil is used as a raw material for making huge amounts See Coursework

119 compounds may be separated and the components identified using a technique called chromatography. A range of chromatography techniques are used in both forensic and industrial applications. These range from basic paper and thin layer chromatography to high performance gas-liquid chromatography. Coursework Rlevant research, understanding and detail in a study of one organisation to produce a report for that organisation which considers their energy policy and energy usage. The report also includes considerations of energy efficiency and environmental impact; A study of large-scale and small-scale generation, to include energy transfer involved. Work to show data and calculations of fuel/energy costs; Evidence that candidates have safely completed three practical analyses, to include a range of both qualitative and computer technology in modern medicine in terms of data attainment, management and use in diagnosis Health and Safety issues in the work place make it essential that good practice guidelines are clearly stated and understood. Students need to be aware that the decision to carry out a program of diagnosis and treatment involves consideration of other issues that might affect the patient. It may not be a simple case of medical expedience. of the chemicals we use everyday, including plastics, synthetic fibres and detergents. Some chemicals are produced on a very large scale. These processes need to run as cheaply and efficiently as possible, and also need to follow environmental considerations. Chemists design these processes to use as little energy as possible. One way of lowering energy demand is to use catalysts. Catalysts are used in the manufacture of fertilizers, plastics, fuels and many other materials. End of unit (monitoring the Human Body)

120 quantitative analysis, each will be appropriately recorded, processed and evaluated. Epiphany Jan Feb WINDOW 3 29/02/16 18/03/16 Forensic Science The basic principle of forensic science, that every contact leaves a trace, was identified by one of its pioneers, Edmond Locard. By studying this unit, candidates will learn how this evidence is collected and the basic science underpinning the analysis of the main types of forensic evidence that may be presented in court. Candidates will carry out simple forensic analyses, acquiring knowledge of more complex procedures, and report the results. Candidates will evaluate the reliability of different types of forensic evidence in securing a conviction. Coursework Candidates will conduct an investigation into forensic science. Candidates evidence will Cells and Molecules Professional biologists, chemists and molecular biologists are continually carrying out research into the structure and functioning of the cell. Molecular biology is the study of the molecules and the chemical interactions that occur within cells. The cell is a complete and functioning biological unit that acts as a building block for all living things. In order to understand how the cell works, we need to look at some of the structures found within the cell and understand the role that each plays in the successful functioning of the cell. In order to fully understand cells, we not only need to understand the ultrastructure of a cell but also the role of some of the chemical molecules found within it. These molecules range from Coursework an example of one industrial process that involves the use of a catalyst, whose action candidates will explain. Candidates will show an understanding of the social, economic and environmental impact of the product produced in the process; a sample and account of the preparation of each of two products (one inorganic and one organic) that have been synthesized, purified and analysed in the laboratory.

121 Easter Mar April include: a knowledge and understanding of the need to preserve and record the crime scene, and the physical, biological and chemical techniques used to collect and visualise forensic evidence safely, including ethical considerations; a report based on a forensic case study, on evidence and proof, and work which demonstrates the use of calculations to support forensic measurements or observations; describe physical techniques e.g. use of adhesive tape, forceps, plaster casts, vacuuming for the safe collection of evidence and recognise the situations in which these techniques are used (collecting hair samples, fibres, footprints, tool marks, tyre prints); describe biological techniques e.g. the simple water molecule to the more complex polymer of DNA that is found within the nucleus. Scientists also need to carry out chemical tests for the presence of these molecules when analysing the contents of cells. An important skill is the ability to accurately measure the size of cells, count the numbers of cells on a microscope slide and calculate the number of cells in a given volume of liquid. Scientists who work in pathology laboratories in hospitals often need to know the relative numbers of red and white blood cells in samples of blood as this can provide valuable information for the diagnosis of certain diseases and conditions.
