Group 4- Chemistry

IBDP Chemistry (German – HL /SL)

Course description and objectives:

The language of the course is German.

The chemistry course is classified under the 4th group, which is the experimental sciences. The IB Diploma high-level Chemistry Course combines academic learning with the acquisition of practical and research skills. The chemistry course is designed to encourage the development of experimental skills, the use of mathematical skills, and the development of information technology skills. Apart from that, students should know how scientists work with chemistry classes and communicate with each other.

The DP Chemistry course aims to provide students with the following opportunities:

  1. Recognition of science and creativity in a global context through stimulating and challenging opportunities
  2. Acquisition of knowledge, methods, and techniques that characterize science and technology
  3. Application of knowledge, methods, and techniques that characterize science and technology
  4. To develop the ability to analyze, evaluate and synthesize scientific knowledge
  5. Developing a critical awareness of the necessity and value of effective collaboration and communication during scientific activities
  6. Development of experimental and investigative scientific skills, including the use of up-to-date technologies
  7. Developing and applying 21st-century communication skills in scientific studies
  8. Being critical as a global citizen about the ethical implications of using science and technology
  9. Developing an understanding of the possibilities and limitations of science and technology
  10. Understanding the relations between scientific disciplines and their effects on other fields of knowledge.
