How can parents help?
Due to the large range of topics students may have a natural inclination towards some areas of science over others, naturally there will be some topics that students will perform better in than others. With this in mind, there are a number of things that can be done to maximise their retention.
- Asking them short questions about the content that they have in their books, they will often have key words and definitions that need to be practiced.
- Encouraging students to create short, snappy cue cards that can be used for revision throughout the year. These should be made as close to the lesson as possible, ideally that evening (they don’t need to be big and beautiful, but rather just the key points or words from that lesson).
- Encourage your son or daughter to use websites like BBC Bitesize or “myGCSEscience” on YouTube to help find answers or help, rather than just “googling” the question.
