The A-Level OCR B (Salters) course provides lively and interesting ways of demonstrating how Chemistry is used in the world and what chemists do. It brings out the creative, logical and analytical skills of students who want to understand more of the chemical principles which underpin many of the latest developments in Chemistry.
To study A-Level courses, a student must secure five Grade 5s at GCSE, including English and Maths. To study this A-Level Chemistry course, a student must secure at least a Grade 6 two or more GCSE Single Sciences or 6-6 in Combined Science. A-Level Mathematics is recommended to take alongside this course.
This is a linear A-Level GCE course with national assessment through 3 exams at the end of Year 13. There are 10 topics which develop a student’s knowledge and understanding of Chemistry. Practical skills are gained throughout the course and examined in a final written exam, with a Practical Endorsement award (in addition to the A-Level) given for experimental competence. The course fosters a mixture of concrete and abstract styles of learning to help students access key chemical ideas. In addition, a high degree of laboratory work and modelling takes place to develop investigative skills and to give a more hands-on approach to the subject. Activities involving data analysis, group exercises and use of ICT occur so that students can develop their application of Chemistry more successfully.
