This chemistry curriculum overview spans 38 weeks and is divided into three terms: Autumn 1, Autumn 2, and Spring 1 and 2, Summer 1 and 2. It covers a wide range of topics including cells and nutrition, energy, forces and space, acids and alkalis, atomic structure, metals and reactivity, rates of reaction, organic chemistry, and amounts of substance. Key concepts are explored in depth over multiple weeks and build upon prior learning with increasing complexity. Required practical exercises are integrated throughout to reinforce understanding of essential course content.
