GCSE Science with Rebecca

I LOVED learning about the brain at university.

Learning about memory, learning and how the brain develops from childhood through to adulthood was fascinating. There’s something pretty amazing about learning how your own brain works, while knowing that there are still parts of it scientists are studying today to understand exactly how it all functions.

The brain influences how we learn, remember, develop and interact with the world around us. So much of what makes us who we are comes back to this incredibly complex organ.

And honestly, it’s one of the reasons I still love teaching Biology. 🧠🔬

Meet my most loyal student 🐱

She always shows up, eager for more, but needs regular naps to keep her going.

Everyone (and their pets!) is welcome in my animal-friendly virtual classroom. 🐾

𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 🤩

Not only did this student jump 3 whole grades, but the worry and self‑doubt they started with slowly shifted into calm, confidence, and real success.

🧪 Why are Required Practicals so important in GCSE Science?

They help students build real scientific skills that students can use even beyond their exams.

✔ Working scientifically
✔ Teamwork & communication
✔ Health & safety
✔ Analysing data
✔ Problem solving

Practicals are fun when they’re done right, and students understand why they’re doing them. However things can get tricky when there’s a lot of instructions to follow.

Additionally, they help prep for A-Levels in Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Applied Science, where practical lab work becomes a major focus.
