Chemistry

Course summary

The OCR Chemistry A Level course is designed to allow students to study Chemistry in a variety of different contexts, conveying the excitement of contemporary chemistry. The course is split into 6 different modules which are each split into multiple chapters. The course starts by bridging the gap between GCSE and A Level content in Module 2 - Foundations in Chemistry and Module 3 - Periodic Table and Energy. The course then progresses onto Core Organic Chemistry which is built upon later in the A Level part of the course. Students will also study a range of inorganic chemistry topics that may not be as familiar to them such as Enthalpy and Entropy, Equilibrium and Spectroscopy. A Level students will be expected to undertake a variety of experiments which will develop skills such as taking measurements, planning and research and analysis of results. This will count towards the Practical Endorsement which forms part of the A Level qualification.
