Course Objective:
This is a comprehensive one-year course designed to introduce students to the fundamental principles of Chemistry. It covers matter, reactions, energetics, the Periodic Table, materials, and the Earth. The course will prepare students for further study in IGCSE Chemistry by developing key skills in analysis, problem-solving, and scientific understanding. The course will:
Focus on fundamental Chemistry concepts as outlined in the National Curriculum.
Provide a solid foundation in the study of Chemistry.
Prepare students for future study in IGCSE Chemistry.
