Welcome to Doc Brown's Chemistry

Revision notes & quizzes for revising chemistry online

Homepage of my website for school-college-academy on-line Science-Chemistry Revision help since 2000

Although the site centres around UK science courses, the study notes and revision quizzes should prove useful for chemistry revision of any science course taken by 11-18 year old school-college pupils-students around the English speaking world. I've tried to indicate the US grade levels and other countries if supplied with the information.

The site is written for three broad academic levels

*

1. KS3 SCIENCE biology-chemistry-physics QUIZZES

Originally written for UK pupils/students aged 11-14:  Quizzes for all science and extra chemistry work sheets, crosswords etc. for England-Wales-NI Years 7, 8 and 9 final biology, chemistry and physics KS3 SCIENCE quizzes revision for QCA criteria science based courses. Also suitable revision help for : US K12 Science grades ~6-8, Caribbean Integrated Science Grades 7-8, Hong Kong Forms 1-3

*

2. KS4 Science GCSE/IGCSE Chemistry, Earth Science & Radioactivity

(equal to US grades 9-10)

Originally written for UK pupils/students aged 14-16:  Revision-research-information notes and quizzes for England-Wales-NI Year 10-11 GCSE-IGCSE-KS4 and 14-19  Diploma courses in Science CHEMISTRY for AQA GCSE Science-CHEMISTRY, CCEA, Edexcel GCSE 360science, IGCSE Chemistry, OCR GCSE 21st Century Science, OCR GCSE Gateway Science, CIE IGCSE/O Level Chemistry and WJEC GCSE Science-CHEMISTRY courses. Also suitable revising help for: US K12 Science-Chemistry grades ~8-10. Chemistry of the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) Grades 9, 10, and 11, Hong Kong HKCEE Form 4 and Form 5, India Central Board of Secondary Education CBSE - All India Secondary School Examination AISSE Class 10 (Class X) school leaving science-chemistry Indian School Certificate Examinations ICSE science paper 2 Chemistry for Class IX and Class X (classes 9 and 10) CISCE (Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations),  equivalent science-chemistry courses in Ireland (leaving certificate), Canada  United States (US/USA/Ca grade systems), Australia (e.g. NSW school certificate Stage 5), Singapore, Hong Kong, New Zealand and other English speaking secondary school or college courses.

3. GCE-AS-A2-BTEC & IB etc. Advanced Level Chemistry

(equal to US grades 11-12)

Originally written for UK pre-university students aged 16-18:  Selected revision notes and a few quizzes and structured questions for International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme of Chemistry (IB), UK based Advanced Level CHEMISTRY KS5-GCE-AS-A2-IB-BTEC National awards-diplomas-NQF-GNVQ-NVQ Level 3 for AQA GCE Chemistry, CCEA GCE Chemistry, Edexcel GCE Chemistry, OCR GCE Chemistry, Salters Chemistry, WJEC GCE Chemistry, IB Chemistry and 14-19 Diploma courses in advanced level chemistry courses. It is essentially pre-university chemistry BUT 1st year undergraduates may find some useful 'revision' notes and quizzes. Also suitable revise help for: US K12 Chemistry grades ~11-12, Chemistry of the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) Grades 12-13, Hong Kong HKALE Advanced Level Chemistry, CBSE AISSE AISSCE Class 12 chemistry examinations (Indian advanced chemistry Class XII), CBSE (India's Central Board of Secondary Education) Chemistry Class XI and Class XII and equivalent advanced level chemistry courses in Ireland (higher leaving certificate), Canada  United States (US/USA/Ca grade systems), Australia (e.g. NSW school certificate Stage 6), Singapore, Hong Kong, New Zealand and other English speaking secondary school or college courses.

"Doc Brown's Chemistry Clinic" website was www.wpbschoolhouse.btinternet.co.uk BUT is now www.docbrown.info , so PLEASE update your links! The site is free to use on-line, and always will be. How to revise chemistry? What is the best way to revise chemistry for examinations? Exam revision is a chore, and, there is no way round it, but remember that hard work pays off and the biggest resource, apart from your teacher, lesson notes, textbooks, internet etc. is YOUR potential ability to learn, AND developing a positive attitude to study, that enables you to work hard to succeed.

There is no magic method, this is science not alchemy!
