A Level Chemistry goes into much more detail than GCSE. It attempts to answer the big question `what is the world made of?’ and it is the search for this answer that makes this subject so fascinating. From investigating how one substance can be changed drastically into another, to researching a new drug to save lives, the opportunities chemical reactions provide are endless.
GCSE Chemistry Grade 6 (or Combined Science Grade 6) & GCSE Mathematics Grade 6.
You will take part in a wide range of practical activities so you can gain the practical endorsement on your A level Chemistry certificate e.g. Titration, thin layer Chromatography, handling corrosive, flammable and toxic substances, chemical analysis, measuring EMF of an electrochemical cell, preparation of organic chemicals e.g. A scented ester. Theoretical chemistry studied in the classroom will include calculations, method writing, writing equations, analysis of data. You will take three 2hr papers at the end of Year 13. Paper 3 for A Level Chemistry will include questions on practical techniques and data analysis.
