The overall objective of this course is to develop a candidate’s enthusiasm and understanding of Chemistry, ensuring that the learning process is enjoyable. It follows on from the Edexcel IGCSE course. This is done by selecting fundamental ideas in Physical, Organic and Inorganic Chemistry and developing them from IGCSE to a point where specialist university applications can be followed and understood. This will enable the participants to subsequently move on and be successful in higher scientific education. This is a linear course examined at the end of the course. For further details see www.aqa.org.uk Year 12 (1st year) Physical Chemistry Atomic Structure, Amount of substance, Chemical Bonding, Energetics, Kinetics, Chemical Equilibrium, Oxidation, Reduction & Redox equations. Inorganic Chemistry Periodicity, Group 2 chemistry, Group 7 chemistry. Organic Chemistry Introduction to Organic chemistry, Alkanes, Haloalkanes, Alkenes, Alcohols, and Organic analysis. Year 13 (2nd Year) Physical Chemistry Thermodynamics, Rate equations, Equilibrium constant calculations, Electrode Potentials, Acid and bases. Inorganic Chemistry Period 3 elements and their oxides, Transition metals, and reactions of aqueous ions in solution. Organic Chemistry Optical isomers, Aldehydes & ketones, Carboxylic acids and derivatives, Aromatic chemistry, Amines, Polymers, Amino Acids/Proteins/DNA, Organic synthesis, NMR spectroscopy
• General requirement: GCSE grade 6 or above (or Grade B or above) in Mathematics and English Language. • Course requirements: ▪ GCSE grade 7, 8 or 9 (or Grade A or A*) in the subjects to be studied. ▪ Students who wish to study subjects in the Sixth Form that are not normally offered at GCSE (Economics, Business, Politics, Psychology, Classical Civilisation) will be expected to achieve GCSE grades in line with our general entry requirements. GCSE Mathematics at grade 7, 8 or 9 (or grade A or A*) is strongly recommended for A Level Economics. Grade 7, 8 or 9 at IGCSE/GCSE Chemistry or an equivalent qualification.
Paper 1 – 2hrs (105 marks, 35%) written examination of short and long answers. Physical and Inorganic topics and relevant practical skills. Paper 2 – 2hrs (105 marks, 35%) written examination of short and long answers. Physical and Organic topics and relevant practical skills. Paper 3 – 2hrs (90 marks, 30%) written examination on any content or practical skill. 40 marks on practical skills and data analysis, 20 marks testing curriculum knowledge and 30 marks on multiple choice questions.
