The two year A level course consists of 9 periods per fortnight. Teaching time is usually divided between two teaching staff, thus using staff specialisms to the best advantage. Chemistry is practical based and students will be given opportunities to develop the practical skills required for the practical endorsement and for further study. Each week, a minimum of 4 hours Chemistry work should be done outside lesson time, involving reading, completing written exercises and learning. Students will be provided with text books for use at home. These text books have been produced to support this OCR course. Opportunities are given for learning through analysis, interpretation of data and other information, discussion, presentations, independent study and research. Students are expected to spend additional time in the laboratory completing practical assignments. They are also expected to use their own initiative in locating and using resources which extend and enhance their own knowledge and understanding in meeting syllabus requirements, but also gaining an awareness of Chemistry‐related events in the wider world.
