CHE200

Year 12 Chemistry

Course Description

A comprehensive course that focuses on developing students’ ability to describe and discuss chemical ideas. 

Students investigate Organic chemistry, Bonding, Structure and Energy, Identification of ions,  and Redox.

Level 2 chemistry explores the material world of creation. It covers the nature of matter and how substances react to become stable. The content focuses on the different types of reactions and classifications of substances. Classwork varies from hands-on practical assessment to developing understanding of the world we live in.

Level 2 chemistry builds on the foundations laid in Year 11 and is a foundational science for a wide range of university courses.
