Publisher's Synopsis
"Science Skills - Problems in GCSE Physics" is a book of questions designed to develop and test process skills in double and single award GCSE science, GCSE physics and standard grade science and physics. The questions are divided into four broad skill areas (information handling, problem solving, pattern analysis and evaluation) although some skills permeate all areas. A fifth section - synthesis - seeks explicitly to involve the broadest range of skills. All skills specified in the national criteria are covered (and many implications of grade criteria are foreshadowed) and other aspects of GCSE - such as the technological, social and environmental implications of physics - are reflected. All groups of questions have been graded. Most questions are "content free" and any content referred to is within the national core curriculum for physics. Answers are not supplied for all questions, but those flagged in the text are discussed in detail in the answers section.
