assessment exams, IGCSE Cambridge curriculum exams and into higher education and offer the vital
knowledge that is necessary to be successful in their exams and further education at higher levels. Students
will learn and understand a variety of topics in the learning area of Chemistry. The course aims to provide
an enjoyable and worthwhile educational experience for all learners, whether or not they go on to study
science beyond this level. It encourages learners to develop a better understanding of the technological
world,with an informed interest in scientific matters, a recognition of the usefulness (and limitations) of
scientific method ; and an interest in , and care for, the environment. The course will impart an
understanding of the scientific skills essential for both further study and everyday life. It enables learners to
