Level 2 Chemistry

PURPOSE: This course is for students who have enjoyed learning about atoms and ions in Level 1 Science and would like to continue to study Chemistry.

COURSE OUTLINE: Bonds, Atom bonds! In this course you will learn all about how atoms bond with each other to form all of the substances that make up our world, and how these compounds interact in chemical reactions. Extend your skill set by learning new practical techniques and using them to investigate consumer products. 

You will study a mixture of external and internal Achievement Standards. This course is made up of 3 standards and provides students with the opportunity to access up to 13 credits, with options for further standards (Chem2.7). This course is eligible for subject endorsement (with an extra standard). 

As a large number of credits for this course come from external exams, it is expected that students are prepared to complete additional independent study throughout the year.
