Free Level 3 IB Chemistry Higher Level Course in Ingatestone. Classes run at Anglo European School, full-time over two years. This IB Chemistry Higher Level qualification covers core topics including stoichiometry, atomic structure, kinetics, equilibrium, periodicity, acids and bases, chemical bonding, redox, energetics, and organic chemistry. Higher Level students go deeper into each topic and study one extension module. Entry requirements apply, so check the school's entry criteria before you apply. You'll complete the course with a Certificate in HL Chemistry.
Who this course is for
The course comprises a central core of study for HL and SL including the following topics: Stoichiometry, Kinetics, Atomic structure, Equilibrium, Periodicity, Acids and bases, Chemical bonding, Redox, Energetic, Organic chemistry Higher students undertake additional study for each topic. Students also study one extension module.
You'll study stoichiometry and how to calculate quantities in chemical reactions.
You'll explore atomic structure and how it shapes chemical behaviour.
You'll analyse kinetics, including the factors that affect reaction rates.
You'll examine equilibrium and how systems respond to change.
You'll investigate acids and bases, redox reactions, and electrochemistry.
You'll develop understanding of chemical bonding and molecular structure.
You'll study energetics and the energy changes in chemical reactions.
You'll cover organic chemistry and the reactions of carbon compounds.
You'll complete additional Higher Level study and one extension module.
How you will learn
You'll study in the classroom full-time during the day over two years. The IB Chemistry Higher Level Course is assessed through a combination of written examinations and internal assessment. Internal assessment typically involves a scientific investigation you design and carry out yourself. Written papers test your knowledge and application across the topics covered in the course.
What you will need to bring
The centre will provide most materials. Anglo European School will confirm anything else you need before you start.
