Introduction Chemistry is the science which bridges the gaps between most other sciences, be they physical or biological. It answers questions such as: "How do chemicals react?" and "Why, when combined, do some chemicals go 'Bang!' while others largely ignore one another?" Without chemistry, there would be no new drug developments, indeed no new materials of any kind, whether for fashion or for stopping a speeding bullet. In short: Chemistry = Essential Science.
4 GSCE Grades B/5 or above, plus at least a Grade 4 in English Language and Mathematics. If students have taken Separate Sciences at GCSE, they must have achieved grade 6 or above in Chemistry plus one other from Biology or Physics. If students have taken Combined Science at GCSE, it is desirable that students have achieved grade 7 or above. As the maths content of the new A-level course is quite substantial, students should also have at least a grade 6 in GCSE Mathematics.
Year One - (Both papers cover content from all 4 modules) Paper 1 - Breadth in Chemistry (50%) Paper 2 - Depth in Chemistry (50%) Year Two - (All three papers cover different parts of the course) Paper 1 - Periodic Table, elements and physical chemistry (37 %) Paper 2 - Synthesis and Analytical techniques (37 %) Paper 3 - Unified Chemistry (26 %) Non-exam Practical Endorsement - Pass or fail based on practical competence and portfolio throughout the course.
