Phenomena, facts, principles, concepts, laws and theories • Vocabulary, terminology and textual conventions • Application of chemistry • Scientific investigation • Curiosity & interest in science • Personal integrity • Open-minded attitude • Awareness of the impact of chemistry … • Scientific thinking, method, investigation • Problem solving, decision making • Practical work …
Chemistry Curriculum • Compulsory part (198 teaching hrs) • Paper I (2.5 hrs) • Elective part (52 teaching hrs) • Paper II (1 hr, 1 question on each topic) • *Industrial Chemistry (26 hrs) • *Analytical Chemistry (26hrs) • Materials Chemistry • SBA
Rationale To meet the needs of students with a strong interest in science • For students taking two science subjects, one of them is chosen from the three specialised subjects of Physics, Chemistry or Biology • The students will study part of the other two subjects by a combined approach to build a broad and comprehensive knowledge in science
Chemistry Part of CS How is Combined Science (CS) related to Bio/Chem/Phy? Chemistry Elective Part Compulsory Part Subject Content of CS’s Chem part is about ½ that of Chemistry
