Chemistry is the study of all substances and how they change. As the central science, Chemistry is underlined by a dynamic range of skills; in particular, the ability to apply knowledge; analyse information; and evaluate results. As the course progresses, students develop a propensity to think critically, clearly and on their feet. Ultimately, the Department aims to produce a generation of open-minded inquirers who are able to apply a range of ideas in exciting new situations. There is a requirement that students have at least a grade 8 in both GCSE Chemistry and GCSE Maths. This is based on the much broader mathematical aptitude required to answer A Level exam questions in Chemistry. The AQA A Level in Chemistry is well established and universally recognised. Chemistry is divided into three parts: • Organic Chemistry is the study of carbon containing molecules, particularly biological molecules. • Physical Chemistry involves the application of mathematical skills to chemical contexts. • Inorganic Chemistry is the holistic study of the periodic table. Quantum mechanics is used to explain trends and predict properties.
GCSE Grade 8 in Maths is required to study A Level Chemistry
The specification followed is the AQA A Level in Chemistry (7405) The course is examined across three written papers taken at the end of the XX. The results are graded from A*-E. • Paper 1: 2 hours covering Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry and Practical Skills, worth 35% of the final result • Paper 2: 2 hours, covering Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry and Practical Skills, worth 35% of the final result • Paper 3: 2 hours, covering all of the content along with Practical Skills, worth 30% of the final result Within the above assessment scheme, mathematical skills are required to access 20% of the total marks. There is a compulsory practical endorsement; this is assessed internally during normal lesson time. It is not currently possible to study for the decoupled AS qualification.
