IB Chemistry

Introduction

IB Chemistry is two year course (Standard Level or Higher Level) that that provide students essential foundation knowledge of Chemistry field.

The course 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.
