GCSE Combined Science Chemistry AQA Required Practicals Course Booklet - Foundation

About the GCSE Combined Science Chemistry AQA Required Practicals Course Booklet - Foundation

If your Year 10 or Year 11 pupil is working towards their AQA Combined Science Chemistry Foundation exams, the GCSE Combined Science Chemistry AQA Required Practicals Course Booklet – Foundation from CGP gives them focused, structured practice on every Required Practical. Lab work often feels abstract and many students struggle to translate hands-on experience into exam marks; this workbook bridges that gap by offering tasks that build background knowledge, clear procedural guidance, and plenty of exam-style questions that mirror the real test. Each practical is backed by a full page of realistic questions designed to sharpen exam technique, so your child learns not only what to do in the lab but how to write about it under pressure.

The booklet works by combining theory and practice: each Required Practical begins with knowledge-building tasks, moves through detailed procedure and analysis guidance, then finishes with evaluation exercises. Crucially, a free Online Edition includes complete sample answers for every task and mark-by-mark breakdowns for all exam questions, so your child can see exactly what examiners expect and self-correct confidently at home. This means less guesswork, fewer repeated mistakes, and a clearer path from uncertain revision to secure understanding—even when you are not a chemistry specialist yourself.

The result is a pupil who walks into their chemistry practical exam feeling prepared, not panicked. Because the booklet covers every AQA Foundation Combined Science Chemistry practical in detail and aligns tightly with the English National Curriculum specification, there are no gaps or surprises. Your child gains familiarity with the language examiners use, practises analysing data the right way, and develops the evaluation skills that often make the difference between a grade 4 and a grade 5. The physical workbook format means pages can be annotated, revisited, and carried anywhere—no screen fatigue, no distractions, just purposeful, independent study.

This booklet is ideal for Foundation-tier students in Years 10 and 11 who need systematic, exam-focused practice outside the lab. It works equally well as a homework companion, a half-term catch-up tool, or a final-revision resource in the weeks before exams. CGP also publishes matching practicals booklets for Biology and Physics, so you can support your child's full Combined Science course with consistent, trusted materials that make complex content manageable and exam success achievable.
