Chemistry

Course summary

This specification allows teachers to adopt a flexible approach to the delivery of A Level Chemistry. The course has been designed to enable centers to deliver the content modules (Modules 2–6) using the framework provided or to design a customized course. Practical work done to support teaching of the content will serve to cover the requirements of the practical skills module (Module 1), which is assessed in written examinations and through the Practical Endorsement. The specification is divided into chemical topics, each containing different key concepts of chemistry. Certain topics are split over modules, to facilitate co-teaching of the AS Level qualification in Chemistry A with the first year of A Level. Centers that are not co-teaching this course with the AS Level may elect to teach these topics sequentially. Throughout the specification, cross-references indicate the relevance of individual learning outcomes to the mathematical and practical criteria that are embedded This specification incorporates the Ofqual GCE Subject Level Conditions and Requirements for Chemistry.
