Stage 1 Chemistry B
Recommendations:
· Successful completion of Stage 1 Chemistry A (1CEM10A) in Semester 1 is strongly recommended for progression to Stage 1 Chemistry B (1CEM10B) in Semester 2.
What Will You Learn?
In this course you will explore:
· Mixtures and solutions: solubility, concentration and calculations involving quantities in chemical reactions.
· Acids and bases: their properties, pH, indicators and neutralisation reactions.
· Redox reactions: electron transfer, oxidation and reduction, and electrochemical cells.
You will develop skills in conducting safe investigations, analysing results, evaluating evidence and applying chemistry to everyday life.
You will complete four summative assessment tasks:
· 2 Folio Tasks (a Science as a Human Endeavour Folio and a Deconstruct and Design Folio)
· 2 Skills and Applications Tasks (Topic Tests at the end of each unit)
