Chemistry

The study of chemistry deals with key aspects of the physical and natural environments such as atomic structure, chemical processes in plants and animals, petrochemicals, the development of synthetic materials and many other crucial aspects of modern technological society.

Chemistry provides opportunities to acquire knowledge and understanding of chemical facts, theories, symbols and applications in everyday life.

Students will develop problem solving abilities by:

• selecting and presenting information

• processing information

• designing, planning and evaluating procedures

• drawing conclusions and giving explanations

• making predictions and generalisations

Through experimental and investigative activities, students will develop analytical and practical skills, including the ability to carry out chemical techniques, providing a sound basis for students intending to progress to careers in many scientific based areas.
