Chemistry

Assessment

Content is split into six teaching modules: • Module 1 – Development of practical skills in chemistry • Module 2 – Foundations in chemistry • Module 3 – Periodic table and energy • Module 4 – Core organic chemistry • Module 5 – Physical chemistry and transition elements • Module 6 – Organic chemistry and analysis Component 01 assesses content from modules 1, 2, 3 and 5. Component 02 assesses content from modules 1, 2, 4 and 6. Component 03 assesses content from all modules (1 to 6).
