Level 3 Chemistry

We will begin Level 3 Chemistry by building on the learning from Level 2 Chemistry. In the first internal assessment students will use their knowledge of Chemistry to explore and make sense of oxidation and reduction, and will then have the opportunity to complete a research assessment looking at Chemistry used to extract Aluminium at Tiwai Point in Southland. The final internal assessment is using detective work to analyse different groups in organic molecules. 

Students will then spend term 3 exploring the concepts of Thermochemistry and starting the learning towards an external exam at the end of the year. This will build on the learning from Atomic, Structure & Bonding from Level 2 Chemistry. The assessments in Level 3 Chemistry are both practical and research based. Chemistry is a very useful subject for those students looking at studying Science at University. If time allows there may be an opportunity to complete an external in Organic Chemistry.
