PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING VERY CAREFULLY

Suggest you BOOKMARK and PRINT OUT PAGE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE but only IF THIS IS YOUR SCIENCE SYLLABUS! * EMAIL query/comment * AND REMEMBER, IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO KNOW WHICH SYLLABUS YOU ARE DOING, AND WHAT TO REVISE!, and NOT mine! * CLICK and GO!

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 syllabuses. Some sections will be useful, others less so, therefore make of my chemistry web pages what you can!

The Syllabus UNITS are outlined below and links to useful parts of the site. At the top of revision notes pages there are links to various quizzes, though some are added directly here.
