1st DRAFT of My unofficial support for the CHEMISTRY of the single, double, triple-separate award courses of

AQA KS4 GCSE SCIENCE

Year 10 AQA Science, and Year 11 Additional Science, Chemistry, Additional Applied Science & Applied Science -  Double Award syllabus-specifications

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING VERY CAREFULLY

 This unofficial page I'm designing provides links to useful Chemistry sections on My site for the UK KS4 Science - GCSE AQA Science (4461), Additional Science (4463), Chemistry (4421), Additional Applied Science (4863) and AQA Applied Science - Double Award (4861) syllabuses on my site. Over the past 7 years I've written lots of notes for the previous GCSE courses, but I'm sure they will still prove useful for the CHEMISTRY of the new GCSE-KS4 Science courses. PLEASE remember the notes are NOT complete and not just for your particular syllabus, but are designed to cover, eventually, any Chemistry, Earth Science and Radioactivity of any GCSE syllabus.

When you follow a link you will find some useful information on the web page about the topic you are researching. Sometimes the link goes straight to the relevant paragraph but otherwise use the sub-indexes of key words or headings at the top of each page. All the syllabus-topic-unit titles are taken from the official GCSE syllabus-specification which you can download from the AQA site. New word-fill worksheets and multiple choice (m/c) quizzes will be adapted from 'old' ones and new ones developed through 2008.

Further note that the new GCSE science-chemistry courses, particularly those in applied science, require much more detail in some topics than will appear in my notes, however, I hope my 'old' revision-information-research notes will help in some small way for individual students. My chemistry research-information-revision notes ALL are being slowly revised and extended-updated to cover the new chemistry material BUT I do not have time to deliver extended responses to email questions and please do NOT ask for past papers.

useful alphabetical site indexdoc b's HOMEPAGE and site-mapKS4 GCSE AQA Applied-Additional-Science-Chemistry * KS4 GCSE AQA Applied-Additional-Science-Chemistry * KS4 GCSE AQA Applied-Additional-Science-Chemistry * KS4 Applied-Additional-GCSE AQA Science-Chemistry * SITE PURPOSE EDUCATION - online learning or 'self-private-tuition' involving SCIENCE in the areas of REVISING only the CHEMISTRY-Earth Science-Radioactivity at Doc Brown's Chemistry Clinic via HOMEPAGE in school, college or home. Hopefully it will encourage interest and understanding of Chemistry, Earth Science and Radioactivity in any country of the world, though the site is written entirely in English. The website is designed to help and unofficially support students/teachers revise-learn/teach the chemistry for modular or co-ordinated examination science courses from including this unofficial support page for the chemistry of the GCSE AQA Science, Additional Science, Additional Applied Science, Applied Science Double Award and GCSE chemistry courses and covers much of the revising, learning and teaching chemistry examinations for the national curriculum for secondary schools and colleges. The notes should also provide some background theory for a coursework assignment or project. BUT please note that my on-line revision notes and quizzes are no substitute for good classroom teaching-lecturing and thorough studying of your own notes and textbooks, practicing past papers and a copy of the syllabus which are readily downloaded from the examination board sites, but I hope here and there they will lend a tutoring hand on some topic, unit, module etc. For final revision you have to be intellectually honest about what you don't know or follow, YOU have to take the stuff to pieces, analyse what you do/do not understand and reconstruct it so it all makes sense in the end. There is no other way, there are no magic secrets on how to revise and learn, its mainly down to hard work and just good old fashioned study and employing teach-yourself strategies without the need for extra tutors and tutoring lessons. I also think there is too much hit and miss revision using past papers (which I do NOT supply) and not enough systematic revision. I also hope it will help teachers in planning lessons and developing schemes of work for science-chemistry. There are no lesson plans on the site but there are plenty of quizzes to incorporate into classroom activities whether photocopied or on electronic whiteboard projector for use as self-tuition-assessment purposes and a variety of teaching and learning styles and the images may be used in Microsoft Word documents and powerpoint projections. I have no interest or time in producing WORD.doc or xxxx.pdf files of the notes at the moment.
