A-LEVEL
What is pollination? How do we hear, taste, or feel touch? What’s lighter, a kilogram of stones or a kilogram of feathers?
Everything we do is a chemical reaction. A transformation, of matter – anything that takes up space and has mass.
Chemists need to know what makes up matter and why and how it is transformed.
Chemistry helps us understand, and make predictions about, our reality.
Anyone curious about the world around us and how it works will be in their element on this Chemistry course.
How does temperature affect the rate of reaction?
We’re going to react sodium sulphate with methanal at different temperatures and you’ll be amazed at what happens when we lower and raise the mercury.
This experiment clearly demonstrates how the state of matter can be transformed through changing environmental conditions – a cornerstone of Chemistry.
Fascinating facts:
Careers for the scientifically minded span the range of industries and job types.
You could find yourself in a chemistry-related role:
Or you could decide that your experience lends itself to work in an associated field:
Fancy the chance to experience life at Oxford University?
Xaverian College offers Year 12 science students the chance to take part in a week-long Corpus Christi summer school, a highlight of the North West Science Network’s packed calendar of events.
We’re the Greater Manchester hub for the NWSN, which also features lectures by celebrated scientists, regional laboratory visits, and a Maths Study Day – featuring lectures and interactive workshops exploring diverse topics from cancer research to jet engine propulsion.
Did you know that you don’t have to study all three sciences to get into Medicine at university? Your final A-level can be in any subject that you enjoy, as long as you achieve the grade your chosen university requires. Why not consider one of the following:
