Catch Up Biochemistry Notes
Hi, all you Year 13 students - here are some webpages linking to PowerPoint presentations, molecule animations and other websites that will help you to catch up your notes.
Here is a picture of Watson and Crick with their model of DNA. Built in 1953 they were able to determine exactly how the model worked and clearly see the 3D form - something only possible by building a physical model of the structure.

What is it like studying Chemistry at Marlborough?
Hey you lot,
I would love to gather your thoughts about your experiences in Chemistry this year. It will help me to evaluate the course and also provide an opportunity for the new lower sixth to get a real idea about what the Chemistry is like a Marlborough.

Which AS exam was the hardest?
Hello everyone,
Having spoken to a few of you in school I get the impression that Foundation Chemistry was the hardest of the three papers. What do you reckon? Were the papers hard? Were they fair? Did you feel prepared? I would value your comments!
