Chemistry/Science
The 11-18 chemistry specialist component enables students to teach National Curriculum science to key stage 4 (11-16) and chemistry as a specialism at Advanced level (16-18).
The chemistry course concentrates on the development of a wide range of skills required for teaching chemistry/science up to A level. There is an emphasis on participation, planning and practical work. The course includes the management of laboratory-based lessons, techniques of assessment, work with new technology and how to organise extra curricular chemistry sessions.
Workshops and lectures specific to chemistry are run by Elaine Wilson and other expert chemistry teachers from partner schools.
