In IB Chemistry, there is a strong focus on scientific reasoning along with theoretical understanding. As part of the course, students learn how to apply chemical principles, explain chemical behaviour, and analyse experimental data.
In international schools around Sports City and across Dubai, many students find the transition from lower grades difficult. Where previously they could rely largely on rote learning, the assessments now evaluate the method and justification used as much as the actual answers.
IB Chemistry is available at Standard Level (SL) and Higher Level (HL), with HL students expected to handle more depth and complexity
Common Questions About IB Chemistry
Answered by Dr Anil Khare, educationist and IB mentor with over 25 years of experience in the UAE education field.
What does the IB Chemistry syllabus cover?
Dr Anil Khare: The IB Chemistry syllabus includes stoichiometry, atomic structure, bonding, energetics, kinetics, equilibrium, acids and bases, redox processes, and organic chemistry. HL students in Dubai study these topics in greater depth and are also expected to make connections across different areas of the syllabus.
How is IB Chemistry assessed?
Dr Anil Khare: Assessment includes externally examined papers, which have a variety of different types of questions, including multiple-choice questions, structured problem-solving, and extended-response questions. IB Chemistry tutors in Sports City, Dubai, help the students practice these exam-style questions until they are well-versed in them.
What is the IB Chemistry IA?
Dr Anil Khare: In addition to the external papers, students also complete an Internal Assessment (IA), which evaluates students on the basis of the experimental design use and their data analysis and scientific reasoning skills. Students in Sports City and other regions of Dubai can avail the support of IB tutors to meet the IA criteria too.
