As an A-level Chemistry student you will further develop the practical skills gained at GCSE You will also undertake topics such as: Foundations in chemistry including bonding, acid-base and redox reactions; periodic table (group 2 elements, plus halogens and transition metals) and energy including qualitative analysis; core organic chemistry; physical chemistry; advanced organic chemistry and analysis Students of A-level Chemistry generally leave the course with the ability to recognize, recall and show understanding of specific chemical facts, terminology, principals, concepts and practical ability. The A-level Chemistry course will show students how to use information with the view of interpreting phenomena and effects of chemical principles, as well as presenting arguments and ideas in a logical, clear manner. Content is split into six teaching modules: • Module 1 – Development of practical skills in chemistry • Module 2 – Foundations in Chemistry • Module 3 – Periodic table and energy • Module 4 – Core organic chemistry • Module 5 – Physical chemistry and transition elements • Module 6 – Organic chemistry and analysis • Practical Endorsement (over 2 years)
Separate Science, must have a grade 6 in Chemistry, with at least two grade 5s in the other sciences Grade 7-6 in Combined Science where Separate Science is not taken Grade 5 in English Literature and/or English Language Grade 6 in Mathematics
In year 13 you will be asked to produce notes at home and bring them to lessons to either annotate them or use them to answer exam questions. This maximizes the learning time during lessons. This may be introduced into year 12 also.
