Level 2 Chemistry
2CHE Subject DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mrs N. Conyers.
Recommended Prior LearningAt least 10 credits from 1SCI/1SCR Competency in algebra is also desirable (could be evidenced from Maths)
This course is for those students who want to build on their interest and knowledge gained from the Level 1 Science courses. It focuses on the structure and bonding within substances, energy changes in reactions, the chemistry of organic substances, chemical reactivity and develops skills in identifying reduction and oxidation reactions. This course provides a foundation for further study at tertiary level in fields such as Health Science, Engineering and Biochemistry.
Entry is dependent on passing the digital Chemistry Collector exam provided through your Level 1 Science teacher. To pass this entry exam, you must have completed the activities withing the 3 Collector pieces and had the work checked by your teacher.
There is a maximum of 16 credits available in this course. The number achieved will be dependent on your progress through this mastery course.
