Third Form

In the Third Form students embark on the introductory topics of the Edexcel IGCSE course. These include an introduction to laboratory safety before studying a variety of topics that form the basis of studying chemistry in the future.

Pupils have three single periods per week of Chemistry. Practical work forms an essential part of the course culminating in a full investigation towards the latter part of the Third Form.

The main topics are;

1.  Hazards in chemistry
2.  States of matter
3.  Chemical & physical change
4.  The Periodic Table of elements
5.  Atomic structure
6.  Mixtures and compounds
7.  Acids and alkalis
8.  Separating techniques
