Advanced Higher Chemistry

Overview

AdvH is suitable for learners who are secure in their learning of Higher Chemistry and can respond to a level of challenge, especially those considering further study or a career in Chemistry and related disciplines.

At the moment, AdvH Chemistry is offered on the basis of 2 periods taught in LHS covering researching chemistry and the project. The theory Units 1 and 2 are taught at Moray College. Learners are expected to commit to a further 4 periods of personal study. (If sufficent numbers choose AdvH Chemistry in may run in school).

Given the need to perform Practical work during some of these periods, it is essential that these periods should be in the Chemistry department at times that allow for a suitable level of supervision.
