Year:	2006
Student Contribution Band:	Band 2
Administered by:

This is the first of two semesters of chemistry which will cover the core syllabus for years 11 and 12 as outlined by the Queensland Department of Education. Chemical theory is supplemented by laboratory experience in experiments relevant to these topics.

Learning Outcomes

• describe the concepts of various states of matter, their physical changes with chemical reactions, temperature and pressure dependency including learning the gas laws and understanding the concepts resulting in gas response to pressure and temperature;
• state the theory of atomic structure and how that impacts on the properties of elements;
• state the reason for elements combining in fixed ratios and be able to calculate the mole- mass of a substance;
• demonstrate safe laboratory practices, conducting, interpreting and writing up experiments;
• interpret chemical and physical properties of elements based on their position in the Periodic Table.

Graduate Qualities

• A coherent and disciplined body of skills, knowledge, values and professional ethics in at least one discipline area.
