Chemical Concepts provides an introduction to tertiary level chemistry and is a pathway to further chemical study. Students learn to predict the chemical behaviour that underpins processes across many scientific and health disciplines. This unit encourages students to think critically about data, use appropriate effective scientific language to articulate chemical findings, and to recognise the importance of chemical concepts in scientific endeavours and challenges. This unit has Year 12 school Chemistry as assumed knowledge. Students should complete foundational Chemistry study if they are not confident with this material.
1. Understand and model the importance of effective and safe laboratory working practices;
2. Apply basic mathematical skills to a variety of chemical concepts;
3. Predict and explain the behaviour of chemical species, including their structure, reactivity, interactions, and underpinnings of a range of different processes including in biological and environmental contexts; and
4. Conduct effective experiments, drawing justified conclusions from data and reflecting on the underlying chemical principles.
1. UC graduates are professional - employ up-to-date and relevant knowledge and skills
1. UC graduates are professional - use creativity, critical thinking, analysis and research skills to solve theoretical and real-world problems
1. UC graduates are professional - work collaboratively as part of a team, negotiate, and resolve conflict
3. UC graduates are lifelong learners - adapt to complexity, ambiguity and change by being flexible and keen to engage with new ideas
