At Brockwood we follow the OCR examination board. OCR has two categories for chemistry, namely chemistry A and Chemistry B. Chemistry A is more traditional and topics are dealt with in a segregated manner and there are two separate text books for both the levels. While in Chemistry B, OCR write: In contrast to the traditional ‘topic-based’ approach, Chemistry B (Salters) is ‘context-led’. Chemical concepts are introduced within … Continue reading Salters AS & A2 Chemistry
