Chemistry is the study of matter, that encompasses the world around us. This course will allow you to develop your understanding of what makes matter different, while at the same time furthering your knowledge and understanding of core aspects in the subject. There will be an opportunity to gain an appreciation of the contributions Chemists make through their work via both a direct and independent study pathway. You will learn how to obtain useful materials from naturally occurring substances and see how Chemists use modern advances in Information Communication Technology and Instrumentation. Scientific and practical skills will be developed through regular practical activities throughout the course and there will be potential opportunities for external visits to see Chemistry in action.
GCSE grade 6 in Chemistry or Combined Science (Trilogy). In addition, you must have scored a grade 7 in either of the Chemistry papers.
There are three externally assessed exam papers as indicated below: Paper 1 Advanced Inorganic and Physical Chemistry 30% This unit covers topics ranging from atomic structure and bonding to the study of elements in the periodic table. From a physical chemistry perspective, rates of reaction, equilibrium and energetics are studied. In addition, there is an introduction to organic chemistry which is considered in this unit. Paper 2 Advanced Organic and Physical Chemistry 30 % Once again the core aspects of chemistry relating to atomic structure and the periodic table will be considered here but more content focus will be placed upon organic chemistry and related modern analytical techniques. In addition, relevant inorganic chemistry will also be studied and assessed. Paper 3 General and Practical Principles in Chemistry 40% This section may draw from any topics studied in the previous units and will have a synoptic nature. It will assess the conceptual and theoretical understanding of experimental methods that will be experienced directly in the practical lessons.
