The R483 Entry Level Certificate Science specification is designed to be co-teachable with OCR Gateway Science A suite and OCR Twenty First Century Science B suite of qualifications. Examples of how this can be done are given on page 6 of the current version of the specification (Version 1.3, September 2018). This document can be downloaded from the qualification page on the OCR website.
In some centres R483 ELC Science is used as an introduction in Y9 to GCSE (9-1) Combined Science, which is a double award qualification. In other centres candidates are entered for one separate science (Biology or Chemistry or Physics) and R483 is then used to deliver the required KS4 programme of study for the other two sciences. If you wish to arrange a call to one of our Science Subject Advisors, they can offer you specific advice to meet the needs of your centre and candidates.
We have also mapped each R483 ELC Science unit to both Gateway Combined Science and Twenty First Century Combined Science specifications. You can find the mapping for each unit within the activity packs found under the Planning & Teaching tab on our website.
