The course is all about building on what you have learnt at GCSE, then taking it a step further. There are three branches to investigate; Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry. In these we take a closer look at just what goes on inside an atom; investigate patterns in the periodic table, look at the chemistry of hydrocarbon compounds and much more; polymers, the modynamics, analytical
techniques, DNA analysis... and you will also pick up useful practical skills that are used in chemistry the world over. The whole course helps students develop a number of personal skills:

ƒ?› How to assemble data and assess it
ƒ?› How to investigate facts experimentally and use deduction
ƒ?› How to put over your point of view fluently
ƒ?› How to work as a team to achieve results
