Syllabus:

The critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and laboratory techniques acquired in Chemistry IA provide a strong foundation for further studies in chemistry and chemistry-related fields. Whether pursuing careers in chemical, biological or environmental sciences, healthcare or engineering, students will have the necessary tools to thrive and contribute to the scientific community. Chemistry IA is tailored for students seeking a comprehensive understanding of chemistry as a core requirement or a general elective. It accommodates students from various academic programs who are eager to develop a solid grasp of chemical concepts and their practical applications. The course content is designed to follow on from SACE Stage 2 Chemistry (or an equivalent). Upon completion of Chemistry IA, students will be equipped to determine the structure of unknown molecules through spectroscopic data, explain and quantify the behaviour of acids, bases and buffers and their relation to ocean acidification. In addition, students will develop an understanding of the electronic structure of atoms and the molecular orbital bonding model. They will recognize trends in the properties of elements, comprehend the chemistry of transition metals and their complexes and understand the importance of transition metals in biological processes. Face-to-face on-campus delivery allows for hands-on experimentation, enabling students to develop proficiency in common chemistry laboratory techniques. Collaborative discussions, group work, and problem-solving exercises in workshops will enhance their understanding of key topics and foster a sense of teamwork. Assessment activities include practical laboratory reports, concept-based assignments, quizzes, and examinations. By successfully completing these assessments, students will demonstrate their ability to apply chemical concepts to real-world scenarios and solve complex problems.
