This GCSE will be split into two, year-long projects. The object of this first project is to show you how Physics is a part of our everyday lives. You will look at all aspects of Physics based around a house and car.
At the end of each section there will be a "Can-Do Task". This is part of your ongoing assessment which will contribute towards your total GCSE mark. 8 tasks will be submitted throughout the two-year course.
In addition to this you will complete a "Report on Science in the News" which will be worth 20% of the overall mark.
