PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING VERY CAREFULLY

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.

4437 Specification for Chemistry

The links below take you to the revision notes pages and near the top of them you will find links to quizzes and worksheets etc. For quizzes: F = UK Foundation-easier and H = UK Higher-harder!
