Cambridge Advanced National Extended Certificate AAQ in Applied Science (Single) Applied Science lessons include a mixture of both theory and practical methods. The theory lessons present new knowledge in small chunks with a focus on how to apply your knowledge and incorporate retrieval practice using online tools such as Kahoot and Seneca. For the practical aspect of the course you will use equipment such as burettes, volumetric flasks to make and test your own solutions, colorimeters and chromatography to test the purity of solutions and components such as diodes, thermistors and LDRs to make and test electrical circuits.  You will also venture outside to collect biological data to apply statistical tests learnt to real-life situations. Applied Science (BTEC Extended Diploma) (Triple) Applied Science lessons are career focused with a mixture of exams and coursework throughout. Theory lessons include Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Coursework is a mixture of practical skills and analysis, developing student research skills. The course is full-time (the equivalent of 3 A-levels on a timetable) which leads to a significant depth and breadth in all science disciplines. Students can progress from this course to subjects such as Diagnostic Radiography, Biomedical Science and Forensic Science. Lessons include a mixture of both theory and practical methods. Lessons will focus on understanding using retrieval techniques as well as developing research skills. For the practical aspects of the course, you will use specialist equipment to investigate test your own solutions, test the purity of solutions and test electrical circuits. You will learn how to examine a mock crime scene, safely prepare microbiological cultures and develop an understanding of fluid dynamics.
