IB Chemistry 6 SL Semester Overview

Course Number: SC.IBCH6SL

Overview
This course is concerned with the study of the materials of our environment, their properties, and the way in which they react with each other. As there is no other way of "questioning" a physical or chemical system but that of performing experiments on it, chemistry is a discipline which rests firmly on the practical. The laboratory work should have a direct bearing, wherever possible, upon the student's growing body of descriptive and theoretical chemistry. Through such an approach the student should gain factual knowledge drawn from the whole field of chemistry, and at the same time be able to correlate and unify this knowledge in terms of the most important underlying principles and concepts. Chemistry Subsidiary (General) is designed as a terminal course.
