Chemistry

At BIS students can choose Chemistry as a subject from Year 9.  This provides students with a unique opportunity to have more variety in high school as Chemistry and Physics can be taken separately instead of as a single subject.  Students can choose between Chemistry and History and between Physics and Art. This often results in some interesting subject combinations such as Chemistry and Art or Physics and History.

After a long period of online lessons, it is exciting to have the Chemistry students back in the classroom.  Since BIS is privileged to have a well-equipped science laboratory, Chemistry practicals can now take place again.

This term the Year 9’s have been revising electrochemistry and enthalpy changes, whilst the Year 11’s have been revising chemical equilibrium, Hess’s Law and Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions.
