Build curiosity, understanding, and confidence — one discovery at a time.
Walnut helps students develop strong scientific knowledge and thinking skills through adaptive guidance, clear explanations, and structured questioning that supports genuine understanding, not guesswork.

Whether your child is learning the basics of cells and forces at Key Stage 3 or preparing for GCSE Science exams, Walnut makes science learning calm, logical, and confidence-building.

🧪 How Walnut supports science learning

Walnut acts like a digital science coach — guiding students to think scientifically, apply knowledge, and break down complex ideas step by step.

Learners can use it to:

• revise key concepts across Biology, Chemistry, and Physics
• practise scientific explanations and long-answer questions
• interpret graphs, data, and experimental results
• learn and apply key terminology correctly
• strengthen exam technique through structured support

Walnut doesn’t provide answers outright.
Instead, it prompts students to understand why something works, not just what the answer is.

📘 Key Stage 3 — Building scientific foundations

Focus areas:

Biology

• Cells, systems, and reproduction
• Ecosystems, photosynthesis, and respiration
• Inheritance and variation

Chemistry

• States of matter and particle models
• Elements, compounds, and reactions
• Acids, alkalis, and simple chemical changes

Physics

• Forces and motion
• Energy and electricity
• Waves and sound

Walnut helps KS3 students:

• build core scientific understanding
• practise using diagrams, models, and examples
• apply knowledge to new situations
• develop confidence with calculations and data interpretation

The focus is on curiosity, clarity, and strong foundational knowledge.

🎓 Key Stage 4 (GCSE) — Strengthening knowledge and exam skills

Focus areas aligned with AQA, Edexcel, and OCR GCSE Science:

Biology

• Cell biology, organisation, and infection
• Bioenergetics and homeostasis
• Ecology and genetics

Chemistry

• Atomic structure and bonding
• Quantitative chemistry
• Chemical changes, energy changes, and rates
• Organic chemistry and chemical analysis

Physics

• Energy and electricity
• Particle model and atomic structure
• Forces, waves, and electromagnetism

Walnut supports GCSE learners by:

• breaking down exam-style questions
• prompting structured scientific explanations
• guiding methodical calculations
• helping learners interpret data, graphs, and practical results
• modelling how to use command words (describe, explain, evaluate)

Using an I do → we do → you do approach, Walnut builds the confidence and reasoning students need for strong exam performance.
