Ever wondered why copper sulphate is blue, not red; why most reactions give out heat; how we can get electricity by joining two metals together; how water can evaporate well below its boiling point? Then maybe the rigorous, challenging and ultimately rewarding Chemistry is for you. The course provides something for everyone and could lead to studying a degree course in Biology, Chemistry, Medicine, Mathematics and Pharmacology. A Level Chemistry is also useful for students wanting to pursue a career as a Clinical biochemist, Pharmacologist, Doctor, Research scientist (physical sciences), Chartered certified accountant or many others. There are six units, with three being covered in Year 12 and three in Year 13. The units are divided into the traditional areas of Chemistry; Organic, Inorganic and Physical Chemistry. The units in Year 13 cover the same areas of Chemistry but in more detail. There is no coursework on this course; however, your performance during practical work will be assessed. There are three examinations at the end of the two years for A Level, all of which are two hours. At least 15% of marks for A Level Chemistry are based on students’ learning during practical work.
