Level 2 Chemistry 


In year 13 chemistry we look at building on your chemistry knowledge from the year 12 chemistry. We go into more depth on atomic structure, organics, titrations and redox. But we also look at completely new topics such as spectroscopy, aqueous systems and topics which link in with university level work. The internals are all experiment based and require precision and accuracy which will need to be improved on from year 12. We also go on a field trip to the University of Canterbury where we get a tour of their million dollar chemistry equipment and then we spend the afternoon doing experiments in their fancy labs- a highlight of the year! This course will give you the platform you need for any pathway into engineering, health sciences, biochemistry and any other science career.
