Geology (KS4):
The GCSE Geology course has several aims:
* To stimulate curiosity, interest and enjoyment
* To show how applications of Geology can be
both beneficial and detrimental to the
environment
* To develop abilities and skills that are useful and
relevant in everyday life
* To recognise the usefulness of geological
applications to industry and exploration
At the end of the GCSE course, exams are sat so that a grade can be awarded. The grade also takes into account fieldwork and laboratory assessment. There are 2 papers:
Paper 1: Structured Data Response Paper (50%)
Paper 2: Integrated Problem Solving (30%)
20% of the final mark comes from Internal Assessment.
During the 2-year course, there is also a minimum of 3 days fieldwork that must be undertaken, and this is seen as being as valuable as classroom teaching or laboratory work. Local and regional sites are visited, and this is the highlight of the GCSE course.
