Key Stage 3 Science

Learn About The Subject

The Key Stage 3 Science program is a pivotal stage for students (aged 11-14) to delve into the core principles of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. The course not only provides foundational knowledge but also focuses on systematically developing scientific thinking. Students will learn how to plan and conduct experimental investigations, analyze evidence, evaluate arguments, and present conclusions scientifically, comprehensively preparing for the IGCSE examinations.

Common Challenges When Learning Key Stage 3 Science

Difficulty in approaching abstract scientific models: Requires the ability to visualize and understand models such as atomic structure, chemical reactions, or energy transformations.
Challenge with planning experiments and controlling variables: Demands logical thinking to design a fair test and identify the factors to change, measure, and keep constant.
Obstacle in analyzing data and drawing scientific conclusions: Requires skills in interpreting charts, data tables, and using evidence to support one's conclusions.
Hurdle in applying mathematical knowledge to solve science problems: Requires the ability to use calculation formulas in Physics or balance equations in Chemistry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About

Key Stage 3 Science

What is Key Stage 3 Science?

This is the Science program under the National Curriculum for England for students aged 11-14 (equivalent to Years 7, 8, and 9). The program covers more in-depth knowledge of Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, serving as a direct foundation for the IGCSE/GCSE examinations.

What is the main difference between this course and Primary level Science?

If the Primary level focuses on observation and description, Key Stage 3 shifts to investigation and explanation. Students are required to plan experiments systematically, analyze data more formally, and use scientific models to explain "why" phenomena occur.

How are practical skills assessed?

While there may not be a separate practical exam, the written papers heavily assess scientific enquiry skills. Questions will require students to interpret results from a given experiment, suggest improvements to a method, or plan an investigation.

My child finds Science difficult and irrelevant. How can Intertu help?

Teachers at Intertu will help your child see the relevance of science to real life (e.g., Chemistry in cooking, Physics in sports). By connecting with what they already know and enjoy, we will spark their curiosity and make science more accessible and interesting.

What is "Scientific Enquiry" at this level?

At this level, it is a more formal process that includes: asking scientific questions, planning a controlled experiment, collecting and presenting data systematically, analyzing evidence, and evaluating the entire investigative process.

How does this course prepare for IGCSE Science?

Key Stage 3 is designed to cover all the foundational knowledge and, more importantly, the scientific thinking skills necessary for the IGCSE program. A strong foundation in Key Stage 3 is the best preparation for students to succeed in IGCSE.
