NPA6 Scientific Technologies

COURSE OVERVIEW

This course is also taught part of year 1 of the FA Apprenticeship in Scientific Technologies. At PL, Higher (or AH) Chemistry students can also have the opportunity to gain this award.

It consists of 4 units

• Fundamental Chemistry (covers most content from Nat 5 and Higher Chemistry units 1&2)

• Mathematics for Science 2 (covers content from Nat 5 Maths)

• Laboratory Safety

• Experimental Procedures

There is no final exam for this course, but completion of each unit is required. Students will also be able to access course materials remotely via Google Classroom and could self study most work if they have already achieved National 5/Higher Chemistry. There is assessed practical work, however, that would require classroom time.
