Course Content Advanced Chemistry aims to show the ways in which Chemistry is used and the work that Chemists do. The course includes looking at the frontiers where the latest developments are taking place with basic chemical principles drawn from modern applications in industry, everyday life and the environment. Students will study a range of chemical concepts which are grouped into the following topic areas: >> Physical Chemistry This includes the study of Atomic Structure, Bonding, Energetics, Kinetics, Thermodynamics and Equilibria amongst others. >> Inorganic Chemistry The study of the trends and groups of the periodic table. >> Organic Chemistry The study of different homologous series and functional groups. Students will also explore the different methods of synthesis and analytical techniques. In addition to this basic syllabus, students will also be examined on practical skills that they develop throughout the two years. Students are provided with an online course book in conjunction with a pack containing data and target sheets. Homework is a necessary part of the course, and students can expect at least 2 assignments each week, which represents 5 hours work. Independent study tasks are also set every two weeks, which develop study and research skills necessary for the subject. A-level Chemistry is taught by a team of teachers. A variety of teaching styles is evident with practical sessions aimed at reinforcing theory. Students will develop their skills in the following areas: >> Laboratory experiments, both open ended and prescriptive >> Finding and using a range of resources >> Independent learning >> Preparing and giving a presentation >> Discussion in groups >> Data handling >> Model making https://www.ashmoleacademy.org/_site/data/files/post16/1665D110BFBC2774CA4DFED150071DED.pdf#page=12
7 7 in Core and Combined Science or 7,6,6 in Triple Science CURRENT YEAR 11 STUDENTS AND EXTERNAL candidates must have: 9 A-level: at least three 9-6 grades in addition to a 5 in English Language and a 5 in Maths For internal Year 11 students only, the Academy offers a BTEC Extended Diploma. The entry criteria for BTEC is 5 or more GCSE grades of 9–4, including English Language & Maths and a 4 in Business if studied.
