Hello, I hope you find my lessons covering the iGCSE CIE Cambridge 0653 Combined Sciences course helpful. I have noticed my lessons do not show much preview ( just first and last page) so please contact me if you wish to see more slides from any of the presentations.

2025-2027 Syllabus
This is a 9 Slide PowerPoint presentation which explains how the Combined Science 0653 Cambridge syllabus is laid out for 2025-2027. The slides give an overview of the recent changes as well as a link to the official CIE website with the original specification. Embedded in the file are 3-word documents that explain the Chemistry, Biology and Physics syllabus in more detail.
This is the perfect overview for anyone new to teaching the Chemistry, Biology and Physics Cambridge Combined Science Course or for anyone who wants to show students an overview of the course at the beginning of the year.
As well as the PowerPoint presentation you will also find the three separate Word Documents with the Chemistry, Biology and Physics syllabus. I think this is useful for those who want to print it out and tick off what they have covered/as a table of contents etc, or as a handout to students showing what they need to cover for the exam.
As always, I am happy to convert to other formats for those who are not MS fans.
Thanks all and happy teaching.

Cambridge Combined Science Syllabus (B2.1)
This resource contains a PowerPoint lesson on the following topics:
State that living organisms are made of cells
Describe and compare the structure of a plant
cell with an animal cell, as seen under a light
microscope ( limited to cell wall, nucleus,
cytoplasm, chloroplasts, vacuoles and location
of the cell membrane)
State the functions of the structures seen
under the light microscope in the plant cell and
in the animal cell
Calculate magnification and size of biological
specimens using millimetres as units. There are also multiple links here to online tutorials on how to use microscope and a practical investigation using a light microscope to view an onion cell.
The supplemental syllabus includes some slides on relating the structure of cells to their functions
There is a homework page with 10 questions and answers for teacher
There is an additional small worksheet with table to be filled out
Characteristics of Living Organisms made for the
Cambridge iGCSE Combined Science CIE 0653 curriculum
Includes a PowerPoint with definitions of 7 characteristics of living organisms
A slide at the end of the presentation that lists extra online resources
A homework page ( 5 questions - one former past paper question) with answers
A worksheet in case extension is required.

Homework sheets for Experimental Techniques and for Laboratory Equipment.
Chemistry
Complete with answer sheet.
The question sheet is taken from teh lesson available also on TES which is dedicated to separation techniques. Filtration, Sand and Water, Evaporation, Rock Salt, Distillation, Fractional Distillation etc. Designed for use with Cambridge 0653 Combined Science IGCSE course.
This lesson covers an introduction to atomic theory.
In includes a Power Point lesson covered the topics outline below. It also includes a revision or homework page (with answer sheet). A ‘Hot Seat Quiz’ that includes the key terms covered in the lesson and a printable of the key figures in Atomic Theory.
The Power Point lesson covers the key terms:
• Atomic theory
• Atoms
• Atomic structure
• Protons
• Neutrons
• Electrons
• Atomic Mass Unit
This is followed by a section covering describing atoms:
• Electron configuration
• Mass Number (Nucleon number)
• Atomic number (proton number)
The last section covers briefly
• Isotopes
• Relative Mass Unit
• Relative Formula Mass
Designed to partially cover section C3 of the iGCSE unit 0653 combined science CIE course as outlined on the Cambridge Specification here:
3.3 Atomic structure and the Periodic Table
1 Describe the structure of an atom in terms of electrons and a nucleus containing protons and neutrons.
2 Describe the build-up of electrons in ‘shells’ and understand the significance of the noble gas electronic structures and of valency electrons (reference to noble gases not included - this will be in periodic table lesson)
3 State the relative charges and approximate relative masses of protons, neutrons and electrons.
4 Define atomic (proton) number and mass (nucleon) number.
5 Use proton number and the simple structure of atoms to explain the basis of the Periodic Table ((Not yet included in this section)
