Course Description

This is a challenging course but extremely rewarding as you develop your understanding of the practical chemistry skills and to explain fully why everything you have studied at GCSE happens the way it does. While studying the course you will also see how Chemistry fits into the world of work and research. The course will develop your ability to analyse data, think creatively, problem solve and manage both information and your time effectively. You will also complete a log book for all practical activities which will be used to give you the practical endorsement at the end of the A’ level course.

Course Content

Physical Chemistry - In this course, students look at the structure of the atom and how this relates to physical properties. We explore how electrons behave in chemical reactions, at the speed of reactions and the energy involved with these reactions. Also we calculate how much energy is created in a reaction and explore how this can be manipulated and improved.

Inorganic Chemistry - Students examine the trends that happen within the periodic table.

Organic Chemistry - Students study the many reactions of carbon– based molecules and how these relate to life, medicine, industrial chemistry and analytical techniques.
