Chemistry - NCEA Level 2
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr J. Tini.
This course is an introduction to the science of Chemistry, which is used in a wide range of careers, such as firefighting, the food industry, engineering and health sciences, to name a few.
Chemistry at this level is about different types of substances and the ways they interact. Students will learn laboratory techniques to determine the chemicals in a substance and the amounts in them.
Four achievement standards are used to assess learning. Three are internally assessed using a combination of practical and written work. The last one is externally assessed in the end of year NZQA examinations.
