  • A secondary education revision video to help you pass your Science GCSE. Let Mr Thornton simplify how to rearrange algebraic equations - it's easy when you know how! No unnecessary information, just the stuff you need to know for GCSE Science revision, in a short, sweet video, to give you a Top Grade Top Up for your GCSE and IGCSE!

    Please note that this video relates specifically to the AQA specification for exams from 2014, though the concepts covered are relevant to other exam board course specifications too.
    DISCLAIMER:
    These videos are a revision guide designed to help students understand the requirements of the GCSE Science course, specifically the course specification(s) mentioned above. Although I say I can "help" students achieve a C grade, this should in no way be interpreted as a binding promise that this will definitely be a student's final grade. I offer expert guidance to try to improve a student's chances, but as there are so many factors beyond my control, I am unable to make any guarantee about the content of any exams or controlled assessments beyond any restatements of the relevant section or sections of the course specification(s). In my experience, a student's final grade is mainly dependent upon the quantity and quality of preparation he or she puts in. All I can do is try to optimise this preparation. In short, no-one can guarantee a grade; I'm just here to help.

    I thought the 15 minute video would be too long and unnecessary, but boy was I wrong. I love the way that he slowly progressed in hardness and explained every tiny thing that he did (even the brackets). Thank you sir I have been struggling with this for a while.

    I'm a trainee science teacher (biology), and I must say this had made my life a million times easier. I was concerned at how I can make equation re-arrangement easier especially for my mid-lower sets (as well as my top sets) and this is going to be a life saver. Thanks so much. I will pass on your vid to my colleagues on my course. That way, we can ditch those bloody triangles and make life easier for our kids.
    Thank you so much!

    7 years later from when this video was posted, why is this just so amazing.
    I have been struggling with this skill for years and now this is the simple way of doing it.
    I never really write comments but I had to in this video. I never even understood the triangles.
    This made it much simpler! Thank you!
