The Koç School IB DP Subject Brief

Subject Group: Chemistry

Course Description and Aims


Chemistry is an experimental science that combines academic study with acquiring practical
and investigational skills. Chemical principles underpin both the physical environment in
which we live and all biological systems. Chemistry is often a prerequisite for many other
courses in higher education, such as medicine, biological science and environmental
science. Both theory and practical work should be undertaken by all students as they
complement one another naturally, both in school and in the wider scientific community. The
DP chemistry course allows students to develop a wide range of practical skills and increase
facility in mathematics. It also allows students to develop interpersonal and information
technology skills, which are essential to life in the 21st century. By studying chemistry
students should become aware of how scientists work and communicate with each other.
While the scientific method may take on a wide variety of forms, it is the emphasis on a
practical approach through experimental work that characterizes the subject. Teachers
provide students with opportunities to develop manipulative skills, design investigations,
collect data, analyse results and evaluate and communicate their findings.
Through the overarching theme of the nature of science, the DP chemistry course aims to
enable students to:
1. appreciate scientific study and creativity within a global context through stimulating and
challenging opportunities
2. acquire a body of knowledge, methods and techniques that characterize science and
technology
3. apply and use a body of knowledge, methods and techniques that characterize science
and technology
4. develop an ability to analyse, evaluate and synthesize scientific information
5. develop a critical awareness of the need for, and the value of, effective collaboration and
communication during scientific activities
6. develop experimental and investigative scientific skills including the use of current
technologies
7. develop and apply 21st-century communication skills in the study of science
8. become critically aware, as global citizens, of the ethical implications of using science and
technology
9. develop an appreciation of the possibilities and limitations of science and technology
10. develop an understanding of the relationships between scientific disciplines and their
influence on other areas of knowledge.
