Level 2 Chemistry

This course consists of three theoretical units covering Atomic Structure, Organic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry. However, learners will spend about half of the class time doing practical work from a laboratory workbook to become familiar with advanced equipment used at the senior level. All of the first term and part of the third term’s work is internal assessment that builds analytical skills fundamental to continuing with this course. There is an opportunity for learners to extend themselves with an optional research topic of local industry which challenges their understanding. These learners are more likely to obtain endorsements and would be good candidates for the Chemistry Olympiad examination.
