Course summary

Why do puddles of water evaporate even on a cold day? What do atoms really look like? Why do different compounds have different colours? Studying A Level Chemistry sets students on a path toward being able to really understand how Chemistry works instead of just learning it. AQA Chemistry includes a wide range of Physical, Inorganic and Organic Chemistry topics and incorporates many important skill areas, including communication, technology and the application of number. You will do a lot of practical work to help support the learning of Chemistry content, as well as wider skills such as data analysis, critical evaluation of information, communication and collaborative work.
