IGCSE Coordinated Sciences
Biology, chemistry and physics in one coordinated programme — Cambridge IGCSE Coordinated Sciences (0653).
- IGCSE
- Cambridge IGCSE Coordinated Sciences (Double Award) (0653)
Coordinated Sciences covers core biology, chemistry, and physics content in a single double-award qualification, ideal for students who need breadth across the sciences before specialising at A Level.
Course overview
Students study integrated science topics across three disciplines with shared practical and exam skills. Content is drawn from Cambridge IGCSE Biology, Chemistry, and Physics but taught as a coordinated double-award course.
Biology topics
- Characteristics and classification of living organisms
- Organisation of the organism
- Movement in and out of cells
- Biological molecules and enzymes
- Plant nutrition and transport
- Human nutrition and transport
- Disease and immunity
- Gas exchange and respiration
- Coordination and homeostasis
- Reproduction and inheritance
- Ecology and human influences on ecosystems
Representative biology content from Cambridge IGCSE Coordinated Sciences (0653).
Chemistry topics
- Particulate nature of matter
- Atoms, elements and compounds
- Stoichiometry and electrochemistry
- Energetics and chemical reactions
- Acids, bases and salts
- The Periodic Table and metals
- Organic chemistry and experimental techniques
Representative chemistry content from Cambridge IGCSE Coordinated Sciences (0653).
Physics topics
- Motion, forces and energy
- Thermal physics and waves
- Electricity and magnetism
- Nuclear physics
Representative physics content from Cambridge IGCSE Coordinated Sciences (0653).
Assessment
Students sit multiple coordinated papers covering biology, chemistry, and physics, plus practical or alternative-to-practical components. We track syllabus coverage across all three sciences in the portal.
How we teach this course
Rotating live lessons across biology, chemistry, and physics with unified revision plans, cross-topic assignments, and exam practice for each paper type.
