Students following a full time course in chemistry will be offered a selection from the above achievement standards.
You will learn to:
• develop an appreciation of the chemistry of the modern world
• work logically through problem solving situations
• gain an appreciation of chemical concepts and processes
• recognise and discuss different types of chemical reactions
• carry out practical work, make observations, take and record measurements and evaluate technieques and processes
Prerequisites: students must have gained a minimum of 12 science achievment standard credits at level 1, including
AS 90944 or at the discretion of the head of department
Course cost: work book costing approximately $35 and their own scientific calculator
