Higher Chemistry 2020/21

Any pupils who are interested in taking Higher Chemistry next session might like to start looking at some Higher level materials in preparation for beginning the course.

Pupils should log on to Scholar using their login details, navigate to Higher Chemistry and have a look at Unit 1 – Chemical Changes and Structures.

The first section is Topic 1 – The Periodic Table.  Pupils can work through the first seven sections of this topic.

This shouldn’t take too long and will be a relatively gentle introduction to the unit.

Mr Clark is available by e-mail if anyone needs any help with Scholar logins, or further clarification – rclark@cumbernauldac.n-lanark.sch.uk
