Version 1.1  \n1 Introduction  \n1.1 Why choose AQA for AS and A-level Chemistry  \nRelevant in the classroom and the real world  \nWe involved over a thousand teachers in developing these specifications, to ensure that the subject content is relevant to real world experiences and is interesting to teach and learn. We’ve also presentedit in a straightforward way, giving you the freedom to teach in the way that works for your students.  \nThese chemistry specifications are a stepping stone to future study, which is why we also consulted universities, to ensure these specifications allow students to develop the skills that they want to see.  \nThis approach has led to specifications that will help you to inspire students, nurture their passion for chemistry and lay the groundwork for further study in courses such as chemistry, medicine and pharmacy.  \nThe way you teach – your choice  \nThese specifications have been written with minimal context.
