This module of Head Start to Chemistry A level covers:

• The extra items you need to know to bridge the gaps from GCSE to A-Level.
• Which Textbooks are the best ones to get
• How should I use the specification?
• How do I do the 30% self-study that is required of me and how do I know which stuff is mine to do? (because your teachers can’t tell you)
• Good habits to be formed throughout A level
• What practicals will I need to know and how do I write these up?
• What skills do I need?

The content aspects that will be covered are:

• Atomic structure and energy levels
• formation of ions
• bonding – the fourth type of bonding
• equations
• inorganic chemistry
• organic chemistry and naming and drawing molecules
• reaction types
• equilibria
• calculations
• enthalpy
• maths for Chemistry

For each of these content aspects, we will cover a very minor GCSE amount of these, and the focus will mainly be the gap in understanding between GCSE and A level so that the A level course will be accessible for you from Day 1.
