AS & A Level Chemistry

Chemistry investigates the nature of the materials that surround us, and the interplay of different forms of energy with those materials. In our homes, workplaces, hospitals and leisure facilities we continually encounter products which do not occur naturally but are made by chemists; plastics, stable dyes, powerful drugs, supplies of pure domestic water, clothes made of textiles created from oil, to name a few. AS and A Level Chemistry aim to develop your awareness and knowledge of these processes and products and your practical scientific skills, at a level suitable for progress to higher education or to vocational work such as apprenticeships.
