science

Cymhwyster: TGAU

Bwrdd Arholi: CBAC

Beth fydda i’n ei ddysgu?

Byddi di’n astudio cyrsiau gwyddoniaeth sy’n cynnwys elfennau o Ffiseg, Cemeg a Bioleg.
Byddi di’n dilyn UN o’r pwyntiau bwled canlynol:

• TGAU Bioleg + TGAU Cemeg + TGAU Ffiseg (Triphlyg: 3 x TGAU - angen dewis yn yr opsiynau)

• TGAU Y Gwyddorau (Dwyradd: 2 x TGAU)

• TGAU Gwyddoniaeth Integredig (Sengl: 1 x TGAU)

Wrth astudio’r themâu, byddi di’n parhau i ddatblygu dy sgiliau gwyddonol. Byddi di naill ai’n dewis i astudio Gwyddoniaeth Triphlyg yn yr opsiynau, neu bydd y gyfadran yn dewis pa gwrs sydd fwyaf addas ar dy gyfer.

Sut fydda i’n dysgu?

Byddi di’n dysgu am y themâu gwahanol yn eu tro gan ddefnyddio amrywiaeth o sgiliau astudio. Bydd gwaith ymarferol yn rhan allweddol o’r cyrsiau er mwyn datblygu dy sgiliau ymarferol a dy ddealltwriaeth. Byddi di’n derbyn gwaith cartref a phrofion rheolaidd er mwyn gwella dy sgiliau cyfathrebu ysgrifenedig, gwella dy dechneg arholiad ac atgyfnerthu dy ddealltwriaeth o’r themâu pynciol.

Oes angen offer arnaf fi?

Cyfrifiannell wyddonol, fel yr un sydd angen ar gyfer Mathemateg.

Sut fydda i’n cael fy asesu?

Mae trefniadau asesu unigol gan bob cwrs, felly bydd pob cymhwyster yn cael ei ddyfarnu ar sail asesiad ysgrifenedig mewnol (10%) ac arholiadau diwedd blwyddyn 10 ac 11 (90% o’r cymhwyster). Bydd yr adran yn dy arwain at y cyrsiau mwyaf addas i ti o ganlyniad i’r wybodaeth a’r sgiliau rwyt ti wedi eu datblygu yn ystod Blwyddyn 7,8,9.

Beth yw’r cam nesaf ar ôl y cwrs hwn?

Mae’n bosibl astudio Lefel A Bioleg / Cemeg / Ffiseg neu ddilyn y cwrs Gwyddor Feddygol yn y Chweched yn dilyn y cyrsiau TGAU Gwyddoniaeth Triphlyg a Dwyradd.

Syniadau am swyddi

Unrhyw beth sy’n gofyn am unigolion sydd â meddwl treiddgar, rhesymegol a dadansoddol. Gwyddonydd ymchwiliol, gwyddonydd fforensig, meddyg, deintydd, pob maes peirianneg, bancio, y sector fusnes, addysg a llawer mwy.

Science

Qualification: GCSE

Examination Board: WJEC

What will I learn?

You will study science courses containing elements of Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
You will follow ONE of the following bullet points:

• GCSE Biology + GCSE Chemistry + GCSE Physics (Triple Science: 3 x GCSEs - needs to be chosen as an option)

• GCSE Science (Double Award: 2 x GCSEs)

• GCSE Integrated Science (Single Award: 1 x GCSE)

Whilst studying the themes, you will develop your scientific skills. You will either choose to study triple in the option columns or the faculty will decide which course is most suitable for you.

How will I learn?

You will learn about the individual topics using a variety of study styles. Practical work will be a core part of the courses in order to develop your practical skills and understanding. You will receive regular homework and tests in order to improve your written communication skills, improve your examination technique and reinforce your understanding of the subject.

Do I need any equipment?

A scientific calculator, like the one required for Mathematics.

How will I be assessed?

Each course has individual assessment requirements; however, every qualification will be awarded on the basis of internal written assessments (10%) and end of year examinations in years 10 and 11 (90% of the qualification). The department will guide you to the most suitable courses for you as a result of the skills and knowledge you have developed during Key Stage 3.

What is the next step after this course?

It is possible to study A Level Biology / Chemistry / Physics or follow the Medical Science course in the Sixth Form, following the GCSE Triple and Double Award Science courses.

Ideas for jobs
