The IBDP Chemistry course provides a thorough understanding of the properties, composition, and reactions of matter. It focuses on core topics such as atomic structure, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, thermodynamics, kinetics, acids and bases, redox reactions, and organic chemistry.
Available at Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL), the course balances theory with practical laboratory work. HL students explore advanced concepts like spectroscopy and electrochemistry. Students develop essential skills in experimental design, data analysis, and scientific investigation through hands-on experiments.
The curriculum connects chemistry principles to real-world contexts, including environmental, industrial, and medicinal applications, fostering critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. Assessments include internal practicals and written exams that test conceptual understanding and quantitative skills.
IBDP Chemistry equips students with a strong foundation for further science study and careers in STEM fields, enhancing both scientific knowledge and practical expertise.
