Make it concrete
Analogy
Maths in science is like tracking a system with arrows and numbers: decide what changes, what stays conserved, and what equation describes it.
Why now: An analogy helps when the definition feels abstract.
Do this: Match each part of the analogy to the science idea.
Why it matters
Real-world use
Maths in science links to transport, electricity, imaging, communication, energy and space. Example: A good answer names maths in science and links it to the relevant process, evidence or equation.
Why now: Real examples make the mark-scheme words easier to remember.
Do this: Connect one key word to the example.
