About This Course
The Year 11 Chemistry course is designed to develop students’ understanding of fundamental chemical principles and their applications in real-world contexts. The course builds strong foundations in chemical knowledge, scientific reasoning, and practical skills required for further study in chemistry and related sciences.
Students will explore key topics such as atomic structure, chemical bonding, reactions, acids and bases, the periodic table, and basic organic chemistry. Emphasis is placed on understanding concepts, applying chemical knowledge to problem-solving, and interpreting experimental data.
Through a combination of theoretical learning, practical investigations, and exam-style questions, students will develop the ability to think scientifically, work accurately with chemical information, and communicate ideas using correct scientific terminology.
By the end of the course, students will be able to explain chemical phenomena, carry out calculations and investigations confidently, and apply chemistry concepts to everyday and industrial situations.
