Chemistry

Course summary

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.
