I have been through the specifications for the new AQA Science qualification covering Biology (8461), Chemistry (8462) and Physics (8463). This resource pack contains just the CHEMISTRY, but I have also posted the others too separately to make it easier for you to get just the part you need. All the attached resources are either AQA documents or my shortened version of them. I have converted the PDF specification into word documents so that they are easier to use and then extracted smaller parts from these specifications to make them easier to quickly reference. For the Biology, Chemistry and Physics I have extracted from the main specification the required mathematical skills for each science, and the new required practical's. For the required practical's I have made a shortened version to be used as a quick reference. For the other sciences click the links below: BIO https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/new-aqa-biology-2016-onwards-scheme-of-work-required-practials-and-maths-11339330 CHEM https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/new-aqa-chemistry-2016-onwards-scheme-of-work-required-practials-and-maths-11339898 PHYS https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/new-aqa-physics-2016-onwards-scheme-of-work-required-practicals-and-maths-11339902
