Unit 3 PRACTICAL SKILLS IN CHEMISTRY I WCH13 | Student Guide | Prepared by: Teacher Nazeera Atef Abu Ishaq

Lab Coats On – Welcome to Unit 3!
Get ready to dive into the exciting world of practical chemistry!
This booklet is your guide to preparing for the Unit 3 Written Practical Test (Edexcel WCH13/01), which builds on everything you’ve learned in Units 1 and 2 of your A Level Chemistry course.
In this unit, you’ll do more than just remember the eight core practicals, you’ll learn to analyze data, apply your knowledge to new situations, and think like a real scientist.
Inside this booklet, you’ll find helpful explanations, step-by-step methods, and practice questions designed to strengthen your understanding and boost your confidence in experimental work.
Use it actively:
• Review the experiments and techniques.
• Reflect on what went well (and what didn’t) in your past labs.
• Challenge yourself to apply what you know in new and creative ways.
The more you experiment, the more you’ll grow, not only as a student but as a curious, capable chemist.
So, put your lab coat on, roll up your sleeves, and get ready to explore chemistry in action!
