Course Description:
IB Chemistry is offered as a combined SL/HL course. “Chemistry is an experimental science that combines academic study with the acquisition of practical and investigational skills. It is often called the central science, as chemical principles underpin both the physical environment in which we live and all biological systems. Apart from being a subject worthy of study in its own right, chemistry is a prerequisite for many other courses in higher education, such as medicine, biological science and environmental science, and serves as useful preparation for employment.” (Chemistry IBO guide). Please see the IB Subject Brief for more detailed information regarding the course.
