Answering the Big Questions: our chemistry curriculum in detail
Summary of contents
The 番茄社区 of Chemistry aims to inform the development of chemistry curricula and qualifications by governments and other authorities throughout the UK and Ireland. This document presents a proposed framework to inform curriculum design at ages 11鈥�19. While this proposal is intended to be a valuable resource to policymakers and curriculum designers, we hope it will also be of interest and use to teachers.
The ideas in this document rest on a much greater body of work, which provide further details and suggestions for implementation. Building on the curriculum framework that was originally published in 2020, this updated and expanded framework represents what we see as the core of an ideal chemistry curriculum, but by no means its totality. While our ideas about good curricula should always be reviewed in the light of evidence and experience, we aim here to present something that is enduring and can be used flexibly in different education systems and types of qualification.
