Cambridge Combined Science 2025-2027 Syllabus iGCSE CIE #Cambridge #IGCSE #Combined Science 0653 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.

Lesson Experimental Techniques (with quiz and homework page) 5. Lesson on Paper Chromatography with homework page and extra resources

This lesson continues with bonding- focusing on Covalent Bonding. This lesson covers the spec: Definition of Covalent Bonding. State that non-metallic elements form non-ionic compounds using a different type of bonding called covalent bonding involving shared pairs of electrons. Draw dot-and-cross diagrams to represent the sharing of electron pairs to form single covalent bonds in simple molecules, exemplified by H2, Cl2, H2O, CH4 and HCl. Draw dot-and-cross diagrams to represent the multiple bonding in N2, C2H4 and CO2 * Again as with the previous lesson I find this a curious place in the course to deal with bonding - before having gone through the periodic table of elements. The previous lessons does deal with orbitals and electron configuration , but logically I would prefer to move onto the Periodic Table after this. Anyway I have tried to also explain a little about classifying materials and the periodic table to make it relevant. The PowerPoint goes over the basics as per the Spec but also included is a work sheet/homework page with solutions for the students to work on. My advice is to practice these dot and cross diagrams as much as possible and at the end of this lesson students should be able to draw the bonds between H2, Cl2, H2O, CH4 and HCl. Then when it comes to learning about the Periodic Table it will fall into place!

(not yet included in this section) In addition, this lesson is combined with the Atomic Theory Timeline. This is not on the IGCSE syllabus however it is a great topic for class research, a mini homework assignment, it can make a nice addition to the course, an introduction to the idea of scientific models or just as an introduction to the periodic table or atomic theory. This separate PowerPoint contains a lot of detail; thus this Atomic Theory Timeline resource is not really intended to be delivered in the presentation format as like my other lessons. The PowerPoint covers how a theory may change as new evidence is found. How a scientific explanation is conditional but may become more convincing when predictions based on the model or theory are confirmed later on by further ideas/scientific data. It is a good introduction to the concept of models, a brief overview of atoms, a printable of the atomic theory timeline and slides on the models proposed by various key figures in the atomic theory timeline.
