Subject Description
Teacher in Charge: C. Northage.
Chemistry is the science of matter and the changes it undergoes. In this course students will study an in-depth program of the following aspects: chemical structures and bonding, quantitative analysis, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry and chemical reactions. Class and individual experiments are used to explore the subject and to provide students with the skills to use their knowledge for further study or for use in the workplace.
This is a recommended course for students considering tertiary study in Health Sciences, Engineering, AgriCommerce, AgriScience, Food Technology, Medical Laboratory Science, Nursing, Veterinary Science and Technology, Dental Technology, Biomedical Science and numerous majors in a Science or Applied Science degree.
The following external standard may be available as an alternative to those listed below: A.S. 91165 v2 Chemistry 2.5 - Demonstrate understanding of the properties of selected organic compounds - 4 credits*
*This standard will require students to prepare outside of normal class time.
Entry Guidelines
The best preparation for this course is to study NCEA Level 1 Science and gain the Chemistry Achievement Standard (Internal). Entry without meeting this can be discussed with the Head of Faculty.
