Year 11 Science - Chemistry

11SCIC
Course Description

In Year 11 Chemistry students will explore key chemistry concepts and reactions. This course will encourage student critical thinking and problem solving within the practical context of chemical reactions and atomic structure and bonding. Students will also have the opportunity to sit and gain credits in a Level 2 Chemistry Internal assessment. 

Learning Opportunities

In this course you will need to:

Develop these skills:Explore this content:
  • Scientific skills - develop key ideas and apply these to a range of contexts, interpret results, and carry out investigations.
  • Atomic Structure and Bonding - the foundation of all chemical reactions.
  • Critical thinking - making connections between core chemistry ideas and how these can be applied, understanding links between evidence and theory.
  • Multiple types of chemical reactions will be explored and undertaken to understand how particles behave in different contexts. Including redox, acids and bases, solubility, and combustion reactions.
  • Practical laboratory skills - understand how to undertake reactions safely in the laboratory and carry out experiments to collect data.
  • Experimental Design - learning how to create and critique their own experiments.
