The three sciences

Biology, Chemistry and Physics — Combined or Triple

Every lesson follows your child's exact specification, across all three sciences.

Biology

Cells, organisms, inheritance.

Chemistry beakers, a periodic table and a molecular model on a desk

Chemistry

Reactions, bonding, calculations.

A circuit diagram and a labelled forces diagram for GCSE Physics

Physics

Forces, energy, electricity.

Foundation

Grades 1–5
  • Everyday calculations: speed, density, simple equations
  • Securing the grade 4 and 5 topics across all three sciences

Higher

Grades 4–9
  • Maths-for-Science: rearranging equations, graphs, ratios, units
  • Extended 6-mark questions that separate the top grades

GCSE Science is content-heavy — the marks often hide in the maths and the required practicals.

Dina teaches Combined Science and the Triple Sciences — Biology, Chemistry and Physics — for AQA, OCR and Edexcel, at both Foundation and Higher tier. Lessons match your child's exact specification. We don't just revise facts: we build the maths skills Science needs (rearranging equations, reading graphs, handling units), and we make the required practicals predictable — method, results, and how to evaluate them — because they appear in some form every year. The 6-mark questions get a clear structure too, so your child explains rather than lists.

How a lesson runs

Recap, teach, timed practice, feedback

Every weekly lesson follows the same four-part shape.

Step 1

Recap

Revisit last week's homework.

Step 2

Teach

Concept, then the calculation or practical.

Step 3

Timed questions

Exam-style, board-matched, with 6-markers.

Step 4

Feedback

Marked within 7 days.

Required practicals

Practical questions, made predictable

They appear every year — so we teach the method, results and evaluation.

  • Knowing the science but losing marks on the calculation because the equation was rearranged wrong.

  • Vague 6-mark answers that list facts instead of explaining them in a sequence.

  • Unable to describe a required practical's method, results or errors in the exam.

  • Strong on Biology but shaky in Chemistry or Physics, dragging the overall grade down.

  • Treating the three sciences as separate boxes and missing the applied questions that link them.

Exam boards

Paper structure for AQA, OCR and Edexcel

Lessons use your child's exact board, so practice matches the real paper.

AQA

Combined: 6 papers · Triple: 6 papers

Combined: 6 papers · Triple: 6 papers

Combined Science Trilogy: six papers (two per science), worth two GCSEs. Triple: two papers each in Biology, Chemistry and Physics, worth three GCSEs. Both tiers, with required practicals embedded throughout.

OCR

Combined: 4 papers · Triple: 6 papers

Combined Science Gateway: four papers covering all three sciences, two GCSEs. Triple: two papers per science, three GCSEs. Foundation and Higher, with practical skills assessed within the papers.

Edexcel

Combined: 3 papers · Triple: 6 papers

Combined: 3 papers · Triple: 6 papers

Combined Science: three papers, each covering two sciences, two GCSEs. Triple: one paper per science plus a second, three GCSEs. Both tiers, with required practicals and calculations throughout.
