Curriculum Overview
The specification we follow in Chemistry is Edexcel IGCSE Chemistry. Specification: international-gcse-Chemistry-2017-specification1 student reduced version.pdf
There are 2 pathways for Science at BISAD:
- Double science (all students study in Year 10) (only the non-bold content in the specification above)
- Separate Science (everything in the specification above)
Students will sit an exam at the end of year exam in year 10, and advice/recommendation will be given on which pathway is best for year 11. Ultimately, this will be yours and your parent's decision.
These are the most common websites used in Chemistry.
