Chemistry is the study of chemical substances and how to change one chemical into another. The ideas and complexities behind this stimulating science are built on fundamental underlying patterns. As a student of these key scientific principles, you will develop a methodical and philosophical understanding of the logic that underpins the subject, which equips you with a whole new way of looking at the world and all that it is made of. The three main areas of chemistry that are explored in theory and practicals are: • Physical Chemistry. • Inorganic Chemistry. • Organic Chemistry.
Grade 6 in GCSE Chemistry or Combined Sciences or Additional Sciences and Grade 4 in Maths.
Assessment There are 3 written exams in A Level Chemistry. Papers 1 and 2 are both worth 35% of the final mark and Paper 3 accounts for the remaining 30%. These exams will be sat at the end of Year 13 and will consist of multiple choice, short answer and extended writing questions and, because there is no coursework, there will also be questions on practical techniques and data analysis.
