Scheme of work
This scheme of work has been produced to help you implement these Edexcel specifications. It is offered as an example of one possible model that you should feel free to adapt to meet your needs and is not intended to be in any way prescriptive. It is in editable Word format to make adaptation as easy as possible. (Please note the single science specifications comprise two papers Paper ! assesses only content which is not in bold" and Paper # assesses all content including content in bold.$ +t)er course planning support %ou will find other support for planning the course in the Teacher &upport 'aterials. This is a free downloadable resource that you can access at www.edexcel.com(igcse#))* ,eac)ing resource exemplars The scheme of work contains suggestions for resources that you can use to support your teaching. These are suggestions only of material you may find useful and you are encouraged to use a wide range of resources that suit the needs of your students. +t)er Edexcel teac)ing resources Student !ooks + full colour textbooks matched to the specification. -ctive!ook + a digital copy of the &tudent ,ook in the back of every copy. .ouble -ward Student Guide + provides a complete guide to using the Edexcel International -.&E ,iology" .hemistry and Physics &tudent ,ooks to teach or study &cience /ouble 0ward. /evision Guides + help students prepare for their exams.

1ealt) and sa'ety The practicals and experiments suggested within the scheme of work are those which we believe are not banned or restricted in any way and are still currently used in most schools and colleges. The International -.&E and <evel !(<evel # .ertificate encourage experimental work with the assessment of investigative skills being made in the written examinations. We advise teachers and technicians to discuss the merits of the suggested practicals when deciding which to carry out and how they will be carried out. 1or example" will it be demonstrated by the teacher or technician" or conducted by students themselves either individually or in small groups" under the guidance and direction of the teacher= %ou may have ideas for practical work which we have not suggested but would work e>ually well. 0s in all practical work" a risk assessment is expected as part of good health and safety practice in all centres and we understand that many schools and colleges refer to the .<E0P&& service http ((www.cleapss.org.uk( for guidance and support in conducting science practical work.
