Chemistry GCE A Level There is a comprehensive coverage of all major chemistry topics, with an emphasis on developing practical investigation and skills. The A-Level Chemistry course will build upon content first addressed at GCSE level and begin to reveal a more in-depth picture. The Chemistry Department at Chesterfield is staffed by teachers who will guide you through the transition between GCSE and A-level, helping you develop into independent students. Subject content for this course includes: Atomic Structure Bonding and Structure Energetics Kinetics Equilibrium Redox Inorganic Chemistry and the Periodic table Modern Analytical techniques Minimum of a B grade in GCSE Science (B in double award requires teacher recommendation) A grade in Science and Mathematics GCSE is recommended. All assessment is via examination and all our students will be entered for the AS Award at the end of Year 12 – this will require the pupils to sit two exams in the summer term. Pupils who achieve a minimum of a D-grade in these exams will be eligible to continue to study for a full A-Level in Chemistry and at the end of Year 13 all students will sit three exams which will solely determine their A-level grade. All pupils will have practical work continual assessed throughout the course and will gain practical accreditation at the end of their studies. x Chemistry is an essential course for application to degree courses such as medicine, dentistry and veterinary medicine. It can however be equally valuable when applying to university for non-science courses eg Law as success in Chemistry reflects a candidate’s effort and commitment to hard work. The course continues to develop skills in problem solving, data manipulation and practical analysis.
