International GCSE Science Fundamental Skills Booklets

Prepare for your year ahead by accessing the essential information you need to deliver the International GCSE Science specifications. Learn more about each of the ‘fundamental skills’ of GCSE Science - the skills that students need to be able to demonstrate to be successful in that subject. They are related to, but separate from, knowledge of the subject content. For all GCSE Science qualifications the fundamental skills are:
  • practical skills
  • applying knowledge and understanding (AO2)
  • maths skills
  • analysis and evaluation (AO3)
  • extended response
