NCEA Level 2 Science Chemistry

Course Description

This course expands on the Chemistry content you covered in 01 Science or 01 Science General, and focuses on understanding the properties of different substances, how these substances may alter when the surrounding conditions change, and how they may react to form new substances. 

The theory and practical assessments enable students to learn the techniques and skills needed to work in laboratory situations.


Course Overview

Term 1
We will start the year with a practical internal assessment, followed by the first external assessment looking at the properties of particles and substances.
