Chemistry Level 3
CHM3 Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mrs M. Scoggins.
Recommended Prior LearningAchieved or better in any two of the Level 2 Chemistry achievement standards in derived grades.
Chemistry Level 3
This course involves study of the key concepts of Chemistry to enable students to choose further study pathways in this specialist area.
Chemistry study includes atomic structure, analysis of spectroscopic data, types of reactions, energy changes in reactions and organic chemistry.
This course will be assessed to a selection of Achievement Standards, both internal and external, with students having the opportunity to gain up to 20 credits at Level 3.
This course is a prerequisite for entry into many University and Polytechnic Course pathways.
