Give your Level 3 Applied Science students the** practice they need before the F181 pre-release lands**.
.
This pack contains three complete practice sets for Unit F181: Science in society (OCR Cambridge Advanced National in Applied Science, H151). Each set copies the structure of the real exam: a two-source pre-release Insert, then a 50-mark, 1 hour 15 minute paper with Section A (25 marks) based on the pre-release and Section B (25 marks) drawn from across the unit.
.
The three practice sets
• Set 1 – Phage therapy and antibiotic resistance: a newspaper feature with a patient story and small study, plus a university press release on an AI tool and robotic testing.
• Set 2 – Microplastics in rivers: a magazine article on a citizen science project, plus a campaign group blog full of biased language and misleading claims. Ideal for teaching misinformation and bias.
• Set 3 – Robot scientists and new solar cells: a newspaper report on a self-driving laboratory, plus a podcast transcript with a sceptical independent expert.
.
What’s included

• 3 pre-release Inserts with data tables, graphs and fact boxes
• 3 question papers with answer spaces – calculations (percentages, percentage change, significant figures, pie chart angles), graph plotting, short-answer questions and both 6-mark and 9-mark extended questions
• 3 detailed mark schemes – marking points, guidance, levels of response descriptors and full indicative content, plus worked calculations and a completed graph
• 3 student preparation sheets – source checklist, key-term glossary, specification cross-reference task and 10 practice questions
• Teacher guide – suggested six-week delivery plan, topic coverage table and answer keys for the preparation sheets
• Question-level analysis (QLA) grid – every question mapped to topic area, specification point and performance objective, with a class summary page
  .
  ** Why use it?**
• Covers all four F181 topic areas in every paper: What scientists do, Handling scientific data, Scientific developments and Communicating science
• Sources written to the level of the real pre-release, with built-in opportunities to evaluate validity, bias, peer review and funding
• Ready to use as a walk-through, a mock or final exam preparation
  .
  All sources, people, organisations and data are original and fictional, written for this pack – so there are no copyright problems using them in class.
