AS/A2 IN CHEMISTRY One Year AS-Level Course or Full Two Year A-Level Course
Why Study Chemistry?
Chemistry forms an increasingly important part of our everyday lives and this newly revised Edexcel course reflects this by delivering core chemical concepts in the context of issues including Green Chemistry, Human Health and Activities and Chemical Products Development. Studying GCE Chemistry is full of practical experiences for students and these are embedded within each unit, reflecting its importance as well as supporting the teaching and learning of the theory. The aims of the course are to develop:
students’ interest in, and enthusiasm, for chemistry, including developing a potential interest in further study and a career in chemistry.
an appreciation of how society makes decisions about current scientific issues.
a deeper understanding of the skills, knowledge and understanding of ‘How Science Works’.
essential knowledge and understanding of different areas of the subject and how they relate to each other.
Students may wish to include Chemistry as part of a broad range of subjects initially at AS level or include in a package focussing on the sciences.
Chemistry is a fascinating, challenging and well-respected subject at AS/ A2 (GCE) level, the study of which can provide an opening to a variety of science-related careers or vocational courses at a higher level, including university.
At the end of one year you can achieve an AS grade; at the end of the second year you will be awarded an ‘A’ level. Both years have an allocation of nine hours of teaching each fortnight.
Further details on the course can be accessed via the Great Marlow School website using the normal student password.
