The Chemistry HL & SL courses will provide students with higher-order investigative experiences and activities to promote a deeper understanding of critical concepts in Chemistry. It will also help the student to develop the ability to analyze scientific literature critically and to develop manipulative and experimental skills necessary to perform college level scientific investigations. Students will be required to demonstrate knowledge in experimental methodology, data collection, and the interpretation of experimental data.
