Part of the AQA GCSE Combined Science curriculum.
AQA GCSE Combined Science 5.10 Using Resources is a step-by-step online learn guide for GCSE students in Years 10 and 11, mapped to the AQA specification (AQA GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy (8464) – 5.10 Using resources). It covers earth's resources and sustainable development, potable water, analysing and purifying water samples, waste water treatment, alternative methods of extracting metals and life cycle assessment and recycling, then brings it all together with mixed retrieval and exam practice.
There are 20 short steps of about 15 minutes (roughly 5 hours of learning), each made of bite-size explanations with key words, tables and examples, and every bite-size is followed by an activity you check straight away. Key terms include Finite resource, Renewable resource, Potable water, Aquifer, pH meter, Dissolved solids, Screening, Sedimentation, Low-grade ore, Phytomining, Life cycle assessment and Value judgement.
