How Science works
The philosophy of science is a critical component of the education for any young person. 'How Science works' is a theme that runs through every science GCSE and is mainly concerned with the scientific process. Essentially, young people will be assessed on their skills as well as factual content in each science GCSE. This is a departure from previous science GCSEs as the intention is that students should be able to relate the scientific content to their everyday lives. This section collects together all the relevant material about 'how science works' for the busy practitioner. Information that does not fit easily in to the sections 2.1-2.4 will be found in 'generic guidance' area.
