GCSE Biology Tips: How to maximise marks in exams

Year 7 & 8 Science Revision 01: Solids, Liquids and Gases

Need a quick science boost? This episode is perfect for Year 7 and 8 revision. We break down the basics of solids, liquids and gases, changes of state like melting and evaporation, and how diffusion works. Clear explanations. Key words you need to know. The ideas that show up again and again in tests. If you want to feel more confident in science, start here.

GCSE Biology Revision 01: A is for Antibiotics

Revising for GCSE Biology and aiming for a Grade 9? The A–Z of Biology series is designed to help you connect the big ideas across the course, not just memorise them. Each episode focuses on one key topic and shows how it links to other areas of the specification…the kind of synoptic thinking examiners reward at the highest grades. In this episode we use antibiotics to connect ideas about bacterial structure, binary fission, drug testing, the antibiotics core practical, and the evolution of antibiotic resistance. Expect clear explanations, key exam terminology, and the links across the course that help push your answers into the top mark bands.

Taking Science at A Level: Is it for you?

Thinking about taking Science at A level but not sure if it’s the right choice? In this episode, Sixth Form students talk honestly about what studying Biology, Chemistry and Physics at A level is really like. They discuss workload, content depth, how different it feels from GCSE, and what surprised them most once they started. If you’re weighing up your options or wondering whether science is for you, this episode will help you make an informed decision. Have a question or an idea for a future episode?

GCSE Biology Tips: How to maximise marks in exams

In this episode, I’m joined by Sixth Form students to explore the Biology topics GCSE students most often get wrong – and how to get them right. From enzymes and osmosis to inheritance and graph analysis, they break down tricky concepts and share how they tackled them during their own revision. There’s also discussion on how to approach six-mark questions and what really helps when it comes to learning Biology more confidently. Got a question or an idea for a future episode?

Gross Science - Part 1

In this episode of The Science Edit we dive into the wonderfully revolting world of gross science. Listeners submitted their most disgusting science facts and our sixth form researchers have investigated which ones are actually true. From worms that travel across your eyes to lizards that defend themselves by firing blood, from frogs cleaning out their own stomachs to the surprising truth about how much snot you produce each day, this episode uncovers the science hiding behind the facts you wish you could un-hear. If you enjoy strange biology, unbelievable adaptations, and learning why your phone is one of the dirtiest things you own, this is the perfect episode to start with. Science is not always glamorous, but it is always fascinating.
