Students will study aspects of Chemistry that will prepare them for University and future careers in science. It is important that students have the necessary background at GCSE so that they can make the best start to A-Level Chemistry. The A-Level course is an extension to GCSE Chemistry. Maths skills and an ability to express complex scientific ideas in essays is required. Topics you may recognise include: exothermic reactions, formulas and equations, mole calculations, percentage yield calculations, reduction / oxidation reactions and, alkanes and alkenes. All of these topics are included in the higher tier GCSE paper. Topic 1: Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table Topic 2: Bonding and Structure Topic 3: Redox Topic 4: Inorganic Chemistry and the Periodic Table Topic 5: Formulae, Equation and Calculations. This is the largest topic. Paper 2 Topic 2: Bonding and Structure Topic 5: Formulae, Equation and calculation Topic 7: Modern Analytical Technique Topic 8: Energetics Topic 9: Kinetics Topic 10: Equilibrium Each of these papers will include multiple choice, short answer, open response, calculations and extended writing questions. All papers will expect a reasonable level of mathematics and 20% of the marks will be awarded for mathematics based tasks. Students are expected to carry out the sixteen core practical experiments that are identified in the content and there will be questions on these experiments in the exam. There will be no marks allocated to this work, so in effect there is no coursework. In A -Level Chemistry there are another nine topics and three papers, the longest of which is two and a half hours long.
5 GCSEs at grades 9 to 4 including two Grades 9 to 6 in Combined or Single Sciences, and a 4 in English and Maths
2 x 1 hour 45 minutes examination* All students will sit the AS at the end of the first year,the topics covered at AS will then be further developed during the second year of A-Level.
