ChemistryChemistry is essential to our modern society. Apart from
the fascination of understanding how things around (and inside) us work
at the molecular level, chemistry affects every one of us, every day of
our lives, from the petrol in our cars to the ink on this page. If you enjoy the interaction of atoms and molecules, along with the bangs,
the colours, the smells, and making new substances then AS and A2 Chemistry
should appeal to you. Chemistry A-level is demanding and compliments subjects such as Biology,
Physics, Maths and Geography. If you study A-level Chemistry then you should
be able to ask "Why?" and get a good answer. You will find AS
Chemistry explains chemical ideas mostly using words, while A2 Chemistry
explains chemical ideas using Maths, while broadening the AS topics studied. AS and A2 level Chemistry is particularly important if you want to study
Medicine, Veterinary Science or Biochemistry at university. It is also
highly regarded by admissions tutors in many other subjects, including
Law, due to its demands for logical thinking. It is also useful if you
want to go on and study subjects such as Geology, Physical Geography, Engineering,
or Material Science. Job prospects are excellent in all of areas of Chemistry.
In addition, the ability of Chemistry graduates to solve problems using
logical thinking, analyse data and carry out research means they are valuable
in all types of employment and are sought after by a wide range of industrial,
environmental and financial companies. At Reigate Grammar School Chemistry sets are small and friendly. We follow
the new EdExcel course which has been designed to incorporate different
aspects of contemporary chemistry, such as climate change, green chemistry,
pharmaceuticals and chemistry research alongside the more traditional topics
covered at GCSE. The first year of the course is divided into three Units: In the second year three further units are studied:
