Over the two years of the course there are six teaching modules Module 1 – Development of practical skills in chemistry (year 1&2) • there are 12 assessment tasks covering the areas of planning, implementing, analysis and evaluation • the individual tasks are integrated into the teaching and are not separate controlled assessments or exams Module 2 – Foundations in chemistry (year 1) • atoms, compounds, molecules and equations; amount of chemical substance; acid-base and redox reactions; electrons, bonding and structure Module 3 – Periodic table and energy (year 1) • the periodic table and periodicity; Group 2 and the halogens; qualitative analysis; enthalpy changes; reaction rates and equilibrium (qualitative) Module 4 – Core organic chemistry (year 1) • basic concepts; hydrocarbons; alcohols and haloalkenes; organic synthesis; analytical techniques (IR and MS) Module 5 – Physical chemistry and transition elements (year 2) • reaction rates and equilibrium (quantitative); pH and buffers; enthalpy, entropy and free energy; redox and electrode potentials; transition elements Module 6 – Organic chemistry and analysis (year 2) • aromatic compounds; carbonyl compounds; carboxylic acids and esters; nitrogen compounds; polymers; organic synthesis; chromatography and spectroscopy (NMR)
Name: Chemistry AL Qualification title: GCE AS Level in Chemistry A Qualification type: Assessment There will be three written papers in June of the second year: Periodic table, elements and physical chemistry (37%); Synthesis and analytical techniques (37%); Unified chemistry (26%). As well as assessing your practical skills within the written examinations there will be a non-examined Practical Endorsement in Chemistry to record your successful skill development.
