This OCR course will be taught through real-life chemistry for the 21st Century. You will learn a wide range of analytical and investigative experimental skills needed by modern chemists. You will participate in practicals, simulations, interactive IT tutorials, online seminars, and tests. Your A-level course is divided into 6 modules taught over 2 years, this also includes 12 required practicals. 1. Development of practical skills in chemistry - The practical assessments that are completed as part of this module link directly to the topics that you have learned throughout modules 2-6. You will complete a range of practical assessments including titration, synthesis of organic chemicals, rates of reaction, identification of unknown compounds and ions, and analysis of electrochemical cells. 2. Foundations in chemistry - In this module, you will study bonding, intermolecular forces, moles, acids and bases, and redox reactions. 3. Periodic Table & Energy - In this module, you will build on GCSE chemistry by studying the periodic table and groups 2 and 7, enthalpy changes, and reaction rates. 4. Core organic chemistry - In this module, you will study hydrocarbons, alcohols, alkenes, and methods of organic synthesis. 5. Physical chemistry & transition elements - In this module, you will study further reaction rates, pH and buffers, enthalpy, entropy, and free energy. 6. Organic chemistry & analysis - In this module you will study a variety of carboxyl and carbonyl compounds, polymers and methods of spectroscopy.
You should have achieved at least a grade 6 in GCSE chemistry or a grade 7 in the chemistry component of Combined Science (Trilogy) before considering taking this course.
You will have regular opportunities during lesson time to practice past exam questions in order to familiarise yourself with the language used in the examinations. The final examinations will all take place at the end of year 13. You will have 3 exams in total which will link directly to the units that have been completed throughout your A-level biology studies. You will also have full mock examinations throughout year 12 and year 13.
