As one of the three main branches of science, the impact of chemistry is wide-reaching and impressive. Through chemistry, we have made great discoveries, such as penicillin and pasteurization, and made the modern world possible with inventions including plastic and lithium-ion batteries. Chemistry plays a role in almost every action on earth, and in every object we touch. It's the study of substances, and their composition, structure, and properties. If you're naturally curious, the type of person who questions why things are and how they work, and also have a love of numbers and analysis, chemistry is the subject for you! WHAT WILL I STUDY The specification content is divided into five teaching modules and each module is further divided into key topics, with practical skills woven throughout. Module 2 - foundations in chemistry Module 3 - periodic table and energy Module 4 - core organic chemistry Module 5 - physical chemistry and the transition metals Module 6 - organic chemistry and analysis
To study A Levels you will need to have achieved 5 grade 5s or better at GCSE (as well as achieving at least grade 4 in GCSE English and mathematics). Standard entry requirements plus a minimum of grade 6 in GCSE Chemistry or Combined Science.
This is a two-year course with all exams taking place at the end of Year 13. ASSESSMENT OVERVIEW Periodic table, elements and physical chemistry (01) 100 marks. 2 hour 15 minutes written paper. 37% of the total mark. Synthesis and analytical techniques (02) 100 marks. 2 hour 15 minutes written paper. 37% of the total mark. Unified chemistry (03) 70 marks. 1 hour 30 minutes written paper. 26% of the total mark.
