Charlie AI now open for exam help
For the next two weeks the notes pages will include Charlie, my Chemistry Educator clone. You can use my clone to ask any chemistry related questions in preparation for the IB diploma exams.
Charlie AI can be accessed by clicking on the dark blue icon that appears at the top right of each notes page.
In order for Charlie to communicate, the microphone and speaker permissions must be set in each browser. Firefox permissions sometimes cause problems.

Interactive syllabus 2025
New Interactive Chemistry Syllabus (first examinations May 2025)
This is the syllabus for all new higher and standard level students. Here you can find syllabus statements and interactive links to summary notes.
Clicking on the syllabus statements will take you to the relevant notes pages.
Work scheme (SoW)
Many educators and students find the structure of the 2025 syllabus difficult to work with, as the IBO does not intend it to be a work scheme.
We have included a feasible work scheme that we feel covers the IB syllabus in a logical and sequential manner.
Feedback on this scheme of work is welcome.
Practical course of work (PSOW)
This is a list of suggested practical activities intended to cover the list of "tools" outlined by the IBO.
