Higher Chemistry
The Higher Chemistry course is designed to equip pupils with the knowledge to begin to understand Chemistry within a lab and industrial setting. Pupils will also begin to develop the concepts and skills required to develop new products and work out how they can be manufactured.
In the first unit pupils will learn about bonding and intermolecular forces. In the second, key families of compounds will be highlighted in order to show how Chemists can design and develop new compounds. Finally in the third unit pupils will learn how to take an idea for a product from the lab into commercial production.

Revision
To aid with revision we suggest that pupils use the topic summary notes to help them attempt the problem sheets for every topic. The problem sheets contain a mixture of multiple choice and short answer questions, many of which have been taken from past papers.
