Following on from the Science courses in the Broad General Education, pupils have the opportunity to choose discrete subjects within the Science Faculty from S3 onwards. Chemistry is one of these discrete Science subjects. CHEMISTRY in the SENIOR PHASE

Star Groups for S4 run for National 5 candidates to support students in achieving success. Google classroom groups Within our chemistry courses we strive to produce responsible, well informed scientists who are enthusiastic to learn and can communicate their knowledge to others. Chemistry is a popular subject across all levels in Uddingston Grammar School. From our National 3 to National 5 chemistry courses, Higher and Advanced Higher courses, pupils will gain a grounding in chemical principles, while developing their capacity for abstract thinking, problem solving, scientific method and practical expertise.Revision resources for all Chemistry students can be found at BBC Bitesize (Nat 5 Chemistry), BBC Bitesize (Higher Chemistry), as well as a host of resources which can be accessed through Glow including Scholar and Twig. Support Class Information At Higher level we further extend and refine our pupils understanding of the subject. The course starts with a consideration of collision theory and extend pupil's understanding of bonding and properties in the elements. In unit 2 pupil's skills in naming organic compounds are consolidated and their knowledge of homologous series is widened within real life applications. The final unit focuses on calculations in chemistry and their application, including Hess's Law, Le Chatelier's principle and the concept of excess. Again there are many opportunities for learning through practical experience.
