Aims and Objectives
The Chemistry course is designed to make pupils aware of the applications of Chemistry in everyday life.
The aims are to:
• provide knowledge of chemical facts, ideas and techniques
• develop the skills necessary to find solutions to problems
• encourage pupils to form and express opinions on the influence of chemical processes by developing their abilities in selecting, processing and presenting chemical information
• give pupils practical experience, both procedural and investigative
The courses are taught with as much hands-on practical work as possible, and staff always look for new and innovative ways of presenting chemical concepts by incorporating active learning and formative assessment strategies.
