Syllabus overview and content
The IB Chemistry Syllabus 2023+ has received a new structure. Within this structure a conceptual understanding of chemistry, that enables students to make connections between different areas of the subject and other DP sciences subjects, is envisaged. The syllabus is organised in two parts, “Structure” and “Reactivity". The educational philosophy behind the new programme is centered on examining scientific knowledge claims in a real-world context, encouraging student interest and curiosity.
