Year 12 Bonding – how chemicals react together and stay together. Kinetics and energetics – why chemicals react together and predict whether they will. Amount of substance – how much of a chemical will react and how much will we produce. Organic chemistry – an introduction to the chemistry of carbon. Year 13 Acids and pH – calculating the pH of solutions. Electrochemistry – how to make electricity from chemical reactions. Thermodynamics – feasibility of a chemical reaction. Organic – exploring different organic ‘families’ of compounds and their reactions and uses. Practicals are essential in science and there will be a series of required practicals to complete throughout the course.
Five Grade 9 to 4 grades or equivalent, including a 4 or better in both English language and maths. Grade 6 or above in chemistry or 6-6 in combined science. Grade 6 in maths is desirable.
Three written examinations at the end of Year 13. At least 15% of the written papers will assess knowledge and understanding of practical skills and 20% of the papers will assess mathematical skills. Practical endorsement – students will complete a minimum of 12 practical activities to demonstrate practical competence.
