Expected change
- Use the basic language of chemistry accurately
- Solve mole, concentration and introductory gas calculations systematically
- Connect bonding and molecular structure to observable properties
- Interpret chemical equations, graphs and experimental data
- Enter the next stage of Standard Level study with a substantially stronger foundation
Entry check
- Mole and formula calculations feel uncertain
- Chemical equations are followed mechanically rather than interpreted
- Bonding models and observable properties feel disconnected
- The student is entering Standard Level from another curriculum
