Aims

To provide students with an understanding of the core concepts of chemistry. This will include physical, inorganic and organic chemistry, with an overview of contemporary science.

Learning Outcomes

1.
Develop competence and confidence in a variety of practical, mathematical, and problem-solving Skills, such as pH calculations, isotopes and stoichiometry.
2.
Use knowledge and understanding to pose scientific questions and define and solve scientific problems involving enthalpy and Gibs free energy.
3.
Apply chemical concepts to practical tasks by carrying out experimental and investigative activities, including appropriate risk management.
4.
Analyse and interpret data to provide evidence, recognise correlations and evaluate the methodology, evidence, and data, and resolve conflicting evidence.
