at Blue Coat Church of England School and Music College, Coventry · college
What the college says
This course answers questions such as: Why is copper sulphate blue? Why is water a liquid at room temperature while carbon dioxide is a gas? How can we address the problem of our reliance on crude oil? Throughout the course students make sense of the different aspects of Chemistry they have studied at GCSE and discover the reasons behind the theories observations and concepts they have previously encountered. The course follows on from the Additional Science GCSE. Therefore some of the topics covered are familiar to students while others will be completely new such as making electrical cells drug synthesis and analysing chemicals by spectroscopy. This course is exciting and challenging helping students understand the world around them.
