A Level Chemistry
Chemistry is the study of the properties and reactions of substances and their effect on each other, us and the world around us. Practical work is an integral part of the course.
Chemistry introduces students to contemporary issues and they study the chemistry in a spiral way so that chemical ideas, introduced in an early topic, are reinforced later.
