GCSE Science with Rebecca

🧪 Mastering the basics is crucial. Then build from there.

GCSE Science is all about building on what you already know. Small gaps now can become big gaps later — so getting those key concepts nailed early is SO important.

Whether you’re doing Combined, Separate, Higher or Foundation, a solid grasp of core concepts makes everything else easier.

I’ll be sharing lots of handy tips, tricks and exam hacks throughout the year, so make sure you’re following along! 👀🔬

Where does wind actually come from? Let’s talk science.

Today's strong winds are being driven by a low-pressure system moving in from the Atlantic, while higher pressure sits further to the south and east of Europe.

Air naturally moves from high pressure → low pressure, creating the wind we feel.

The bigger the pressure difference, the stronger the wind and gusts.

💬 Why are coastal areas like often windier than inland cities?

More Yorkshire pupils achieve GCSE passes in 2026✨

Yorkshire & the Humber has seen a slight rise in GCSE results this year, with 64.2% of entries achieving a grade 4 or above, compared with 63.6% in 2025.

Whatever your results look like, be proud of what you’ve achieved and, most importantly, the effort you’ve put in. Grades are only one moment in your journey, they don’t define your ability, your potential or who you are 🌟

GCSE RESULTS DAY IS ALMOST HERE… ✨

To everyone getting GCSE results tomorrow, I’ll be thinking of you and sending all my best wishes 🤍

Results day brings a mix of emotions but remember, a result is just one moment- It doesn’t define you. Whatever number pops up on that paper or screen, it doesn’t measure your potential, your character, or what you’re capable of going forward.

You are so much more than a grade!

Celebrate the hard work that got you here, not just the grade. And parents, give yourselves some credit too. You’ve supported, encouraged, reassured and probably worried alongside them every step of the way!

If you get the results you hoped for, enjoy every second of celebrating 🎉 If things don’t quite go to plan, take a breather– there is always another route forward.

Most importantly, remember that results day is just one chapter. What matters most is what you choose to do next.

Good luck everyone! 🌟

By the time I’d figured out how to filter the light with sunglasses and lower the exposure, the eclipse had already passed its maximum 😅 Still really happy with the results from my iPhone though!

I do love it when these worldly events happen that bring people together to appreciate science and nature 🌒✨
