Year 11 Chemistry ATAR

Good mathematical ability is needed for the Chemistry ATAR course.

Unit 1 - Chemical fundamentals: structure, properties and reactions

In this unit, students use models of atomic structure and bonding to explain the macroscopic properties of materials. Students develop their understanding of the energy changes associated with chemical reactions and the use of chemical equations to calculate the masses of substances involved in chemical reactions.

Unit 2 - Molecular interactions and reactions

In this unit, students continue to develop their understanding of bonding models and the relationship between structure, properties and reactions, including consideration of the factors that affect the rate of chemical reactions. Students investigate the unique properties of water and the properties of acids and bases, and use chemical equations to calculate the concentrations and volumes of solutions involved in chemical reactions.

Assessment

Science inquiry 25%
Extended response 10%
Test 15%
Examination 50%

Reporting

A brief interim report on class work and behaviour will be issued towards the end of Term 1. The achievement for each unit will be reported as a College A - E grade as well as a percentage mark for the unit and an examination mark. In addition, the student's approach to class work and behaviour will be reported via the usual key performance indicators.

Student Expectations - Homework

Homework marks contribute to a student's final score and are an important means of making a formative assessment of understanding. They serve to affirm progress and identify areas for improvement.
