Prichard Guides You With Answers...

Hello, my name is Tim Prichard and I am a former Head of a Science Faculty in a secondary school in Somerset, England. I have taught science in a broad range of schools across the UK and abroad for nearly 30 years, to all ages and abilities. I am currently using my background in science, working at the University of Bath at the Chemistry Department.

Over the years, the science GCSE curriculum has often changed in both content and focus. We have witnessed the introduction of coursework, modular exams and practical assessments, and now we have gone full circle with the return of linear end-of-course exams. I have taught through all of these changes.

The literature to support students' learning has constantly evolved to keep pace with the changing nature of education. In my experience, I believe that the best way to assist students in consolidating their learning and embedding their knowledge is through practice. So, I wrote my own GCSE science revision guides to do just this – Physics by Example, Chemistry by Example, and Biology by Example, all based on the UK's AQA syllabus. A foundation Maths text book has also being written by the head of a Maths faculty.

All of the questions in these online and print revision guides for GCSE have been tried and tested over three decades in the classroom, and they've proven very successful in helping my students to learn and understand Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Maths. I am absolutely confident you will achieve success by using the same material now published in this guide.

I very much hope you, teachers, students and parents alike, will find the approach taken by this AQA GCSE science guide as helpful as my students have over the years.

Why buy my books/eBooks?


 

During revision for her own GCSE exams, my daughter pointed out to me that many of the existing guides lacked working examples of problem solving. This made it difficult to know where to begin when tackling an exam question, and which formulae to use, for example. While most guides had a couple of examples, this is not sufficient, and does not cover the topic adequately.

Having taught Physics and Chemistry for many years I am fully aware that when a student is preparing for an examination it is critical that they practice answering questions and fully understand the methodology needed to answer the question.

These GCSE revision guides have every step written down, so the student can transfer these methods to other questions. Each one has over 200 fully worked examples for all topics covering grades 9-1 on the UK's current AQA syllabus.

All of our eBooks, can be downloaded from online onto the most popular formats, such as Kindle and iPhone, and you can always have them with you, handy for impromptu revision.
