The Course

The AS Course At AS Level candidates are given a solid grounding in foundation Chemistry. The specification introduces the chemical reactivity of atoms and molecules and provides an understanding of their structures. The development and use of periodic table is explained. The introduction of Practical Skills Assignments (PSA) into the specification allows students to be to credited for work done in routine class practicals. Assessment becomes linked to the work of the course, and moves away from formulaic testing. This allows students to show exactly what they can do. The AS Course The A2 Course The new A2 course will further allow students to: Develop a knowledge and understanding of Chemistry to provide a pathway to further study. Ensure that learning is enjoyable, and enhances a candidate's enthusiasm for Chemistry. Ensure relevance to contemporary issues by building on the concepts of How Science Works that were introduced at GCSE. The A2 Course (Awaiting Document)
