NEW 2008 SPECIFICATIONS - SCROLL DOWN TO SEE WHAT HAS BEEN DONE

KNOCKHARDY PUBLISHING produces notes and other resources for AS and A2 Level Chemistry. The module references are for the AQA and OCR examinations but the material applies equally well to other specifications. The pages are saved as PDF files and may be freely read and printed for personal use. My resources are used by staff and students at schools and colleges around the world.
