This is a two-year course to A Level. The Salters A Level Chemistry course is slightly different from other Chemistry A Levels in that the subject is taught using Context-Based Learning. This has two main advantages: Firstly, it is engaging and obviously relevant. Secondly, it introduces difficult new concepts in easy stages, with lots of practice during the course. Similar ideas are met in different contexts and in increasing depth. This is designed to fit well with how learning is best achieved. It also builds confidence when tackling unfamiliar material; learning to use existing knowledge to solve problems is excellent preparation for university and beyond.
GCSE A/7 in Chemistry or Dual Science and Mathematics.
1. Fundamentals of Chemistry Multiple choice and short answer questions 2. Scientific Literacy in Chemistry Short and longer answer questions 3. Practical Skills in Chemistry (written paper) Accessing ideas and skills linked to practical work 4. Practical endorsement in Chemistry Assessed continuously through the course. Students keep records in lab books as evidence
