Combined Science: Trilogy is part of our science suite, developed with teachers to inspire and challenge students of all abilities and aspirations. (See also GCSE Combined Science: Synergy).
Trilogy is a double award and worth two GCSEs. It is assessed by six, 1 hour and 15 minute exams.
The clear, two-column format lists what students need to know and be able to do, with key opportunities for skills development signposted throughout. Further sections outline the requirements for the skills in working scientifically, maths and practical assessment.
You’ll find all the content of Combined Science: Trilogy, including the 21 required practicals, in the separate sciences. This means that this specification is fully co-teachable with the separate GCSE sciences.
