ANTHONY GELL SCHOOL SIXTH FORM ROSPECTUS 2020 — 2022
Chemistry is a fascinating subject: at A Level you will further develop your ideas of
atomic structure and bonding and apply these theories into a huge range of
compounds. You will study the physical theories on energy, amount of substance and
equilibria that underpin chemical industry and research. A Level chemists will also start
to explore the world of Organic Chemistry and look into the chemistry of properties of
the molecules that are part of living systems.
Chemistry is a practical subject. Whether in the laboratory or in the field, chemists use
their practical skills to find solutions to problems, challenges and questions. During A
Level Chemistry there will be twelve core practical tasks over both years; these along
with other practical work will give you the opportunity to learn, practise and
CHEMISTRY demonstrate these skills.
