GCE A Level in Chemistry A
at Ifield Community College · college
What the college says
Chemists use their knowledge and experiments to understand the world around us, and link the physical and applied sciences. Without chemistry, there would be no medicine, cleaning products, clothes, jewellery or plastics to name a few… We can answer questions like, “Why does ice float?” “How can I create substances for this purpose?” If this sounds appealing to you, Chemistry is a great choice!
