Programme includes: |
| Std. 9 |
Objectives are to create interest and give good grounding in practical
skills and to lay foundations in some IGCSE topics. Topics covered
are: |
| |
- Separation of chemicals
- Acids, etc.
- Effect of heat
- Preparation of some gases
- Elements, compounds, symbol and formulae
- Carbonation
- Metals and reactivity series
- Manufacture of iron and steel
- Scientific method
- Historical topic – Priestly, Lowoisier and phlogiston.
|
| Std. 10 and 11 |
Cambridge IGCSE Chemistry course 0620
Currently we do the “Alternative to practical” Paper 6
(written paper) instead of internal assessment of practical work, but
there is a strong emphasis on practical work throughout the course,
including design and evaluation of experiments. |
| |
- Atomic structure
- Bonding
- Periodic table
- Formulae and equations
- Structure
- Mole concept and calculations
- Acids and salts
- Organic chemistry
- Nitrogen and ammonia
- Sulphur
- Rates of reaction
- Equilibrium
- Energetics
- Redox and electrolysis.

| Std. 12 and 13 |
Cambridge CIE course 9701 (AS and A2)
At each level (AS and A2) there are two written examinations and
a practical examination. At the A2 level, there is an emphasis
on planning and evaluation of experiments.
Work builds on the IGCSE topics at a deeper level, with a strong
emphasis on Organic Chemistry and also from 2006 will include a
new section on the “Applications of Chemistry” which
in turn covers the following topics: |
| |
- The Chemistry of life
- The application of Analytical Chemistry (electrophoresis, DNA fingerprinting,
nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray crystallography, chromatography
and mass spectroscopy).
- Design and materials (medicinal chemistry and drug delivery; properties
of polymers; nanotechnology; environment and energy).
