Chemistry

Course summary

A-Level Chemistry is taught via the OCR Chemistry A specification, designed to “sustain and develop an enjoyment and interest in Chemistry, to recognise the value of Chemistry to society and how it may be used responsibly, as well as developing your knowledge and understanding of the concepts and skills essential to the subject”. Many of the topics will be familiar to you as they are extensions of those covered in GCSE Chemistry. We will develop the depth of your understanding of these and reinforce the theory with new practical skills. The content is split into six modules: 1. Development of practical skills in Chemistry 2. Foundations in Chemistry 3. Periodic table and energy 4. Core organic Chemistry 5. Physical Chemistry and transition elements 6. Organic Chemistry and analysis
