  5. What is Combined Science?

  6. Rationale To meet the needs of students with a strong interest in science • For students taking twoscience subjects, ONE of them is chosen from the three specialised subjects of Physics, Chemistry or Biology • The students will study part of the other two subjects by a combined approach to build a broad and comprehensive knowledge in science

  7. Chemistry Part of CS How is Combined Science (CS) related to Bio/Chem/Phy? Chemistry Elective Part Compulsory Part Subject Content of CS’s Chem part is about ½ that of Chemistry

  8. Bio Chem Phy Biology Part Chemistry Part Physics Part Combined Science (Chem, Bio) Combined Science (Bio, Phy) Combined Science (Phy, Chem) Taking 2 parts only

  9. + + + Econ/ Geog / ICT/ Lit. inEng /Ch. Hist/ BAFS …. Room for learning in other KLAs Combined Science– for students wishing to take 2 elective subjectsin the Science Education KLA Possible subject combinations: Combined Science (Phy, Chem) + Bio Combined Science (Bio, Phy) + Chem Combined Science (Chem, Bio) + Phy Broad and comprehensive learning in science

  10. Tips for Choosing elective subjects • only students who are top 35% in Mathematics of the Form can choose to take Mathematics module (module 1 or 2) • Students taking Mathematics module are NOT allowed to take Chinese History andEconomics in Block 3 • consider Combined Science (Phy+Chem) or (Chem+Bio) or (Phy+Bio) in block 1

  11. Fully filled . A better ranking is needed for successful allocation Fully filled in the mock selection almost fully filled (38/40) quite full (23) Tips for Choosing elective subjects

  12. Important reminder :- • Students are required to fill-in an on-line application form for your choice of S4 subjects.
