• The following is a list of the practical activities and experiments that will comprise your practical scheme of work

• Each listed activity includes the allocated time and, where possible, a PDF or word file containing instructions (in case you lose yours)

• Remember, SL candidates are required to complete 40 hrs of practical work, while HL candidates must complete 60 hrs

• All activities must be written up into a report (level of depth may vary) to provide evidence of completion
