The Year 8 chemistry Programme of Study is the introduction of chemistry as a separate science. It gives a general introduction to the important concepts of chemistry which will be built upon in Years 9-11.
The topics studied during the year are listed below:
Pupils will be issued with the text book The Material World at the start of the academic year in Year 8 and it is their responsibility to ensure its continuing good condition and safe keeping over the year in which they will use it.
Pupils will also be issued with a light green chemistry exercise book and a number of important information sheets at the beginning of the year. Further copies of these sheets are available on this site.
One homework per week will be set. Unless otherwise specified, work should be handed in for marking the following day. All homework set should be recorded in a L.G.S.
Homework Diary. Each homework should, in general, take no longer than 30 minutes to complete although there will be occasions when revision or a research based project may take longer.
There will be a test on completion of each topic and an end-of-year examination in June.
