Leaving Certificate Chemistry Higher Level – Strand 1 Complete Unit Pack
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!
This comprehensive 230-page resource provides full coverage of Strand 1 of the new Leaving Certificate Chemistry specification. It is designed to support both teaching and revision through structured, exam-style questions and detailed marking schemes.
Each learning outcome is developed through realistic contexts, scaffolded questions and repeated exposure to key concepts, helping students build confidence and mastery across the full strand.
What’s Included
230 pages of exam-style questions and structured answers
Full marking schemes for all questions
Coverage of all Strand 1 learning outcomes
Real-world contexts and applied chemistry scenarios
A mix of short-answer, structured and extended-response questions
Suitable for class tests, homework, revision or mock exams
Learning Outcome Coverage
LO 1.1 – Matter and the Kinetic Theory
Particle theory of solids, liquids and gases
Diffusion and Brownian motion
Effects of temperature on particle movement
Gas pressure, volume and temperature relationships
Real-life applications including aerosols, tyres and gas systems
Experimental design and evaluation
LO 1.2 – Atomic Structure and Spectroscopy
