GCSE Science gives students the opportunity to recognise and discuss current scientific issues, and students are beginning to recognise the relevance of science to their lives.

But at times it has felt as if we were teaching maths. It's also been a challenge getting students to think for themselves as about science, and form their own opinions for the Case Study.

After a course run by the C21 team I'm feeling positive and excited about teaching Applied Science next year.

In October 2006 many staff were thinking 'What have we done?', but by January 2007 we were confident with the methodology and much more positive.
