1 Development of practical skills in chemistry Key practical skills will be covered through practical tasks throughout the course 2 Foundations in chemistry Atoms, compounds, molecules and equations; Amount of substances; Acid-base and redox reactions; Electrons, bonding and structure 3 Periodic table and energy Trends in the Periodic table; Group 2 and the halogens; Qualitative analysis; Enthalpy changes; Reaction rates and equilibrium 4 Core organic chemistry Hydrocarbons; Alcohols and halogenoalkanes; Organic synthesis; Analytical techniques 5 Physical chemistry and transition elements Reaction rates and equilibrium; pH and buffers; Enthalpy, entropy and free energy; Redox and electrode potentials; Transition elements 6 Organic chemistry and analysis Aromatic compounds; Carbonyl compounds; Carboxylic acids and esters; Nitrogen compounds; Polymers; Organic synthesis; Chromatography and spectroscopy
For students wishing to study BTEC courses, the expectation is that they would hold five GCSEs at grade 4 or above ( the equivalent of the previous C grades). For students wishing to study A-level courses, we would expect that four of their GCSE grades would be at grade 8 or above for them to complete thier course
