Level 2 Chemistry
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr A. Heath.
In year 12 chemistry we look at building on your chemistry knowledge from the acids and bases topic in year 11. We go into more details on atomic structure, how electrons interact and acids and bases. But we also look at completely new topics such as Organic chemistry and titrations. The internals are all experiment based and require precision and accuracy which will need to be improved on from year 11. If you have a passion for understanding why the world works on a molecular level then this is the course for you. This course will give you the platform you need for any pathway into engineering, health sciences, biochemistry and any other science career.
