Skills Students will be able to: ✦ Recall and interpret concepts, theories and principles of Chemistry ✦ Describe and explain processes and phenomena of Chemistry ✦ Link and apply algorithms, concepts, theories and schema of Chemistry ✦ Conduct and appraise chemical research tasks ✦ Operate chemical equipment and technology safely ✦ Use primary and secondary chemical data ✦ Determine, analyse and evaluate the chemical interrelationships involved in Chemistry ✦ Predict chemical outcomes and justify chemical conclusions and recommendations ✦ Communicate chemical information in a variety of ways Expectations The focus of Chemistry is on engaging students in an exciting and dynamic investigation of the material world. This is achieved by students learning the basic principles that govern these and developing those processes and skills which are integral to understanding, inquiry and discovery. This will involve students in: ✦ Researching from primary and secondary sources ✦ Developing decision-making skills ✦ Interpreting data from wide-ranging sources including media ✦ Formulating hypotheses and testing them through experiments and research ✦ Synthesizing ideas in a variety of form Assessment Students are assessed using various tests (traditional and practical) and experimental research tasks. They should expect to complete: two tests (one of each type) in semester one, a traditional or practical test and experimental research task in semesters two and four, and three tests (two traditional and one practical in semester three.
