Year 11 Chemistry Assessment Plan: Semester 1, 2019 – Miss S Sadeghi

UNIT TERM 1 AND 2 OUTLINE ASSESSMENT DUE DATES 1 Chemical Fundamentals – Structure, Properties and Reactions

In Unit 1, students relate matter and energy in chemical reactions as they consider the breaking and reforming of bonds as new substances are produced. The properties of a material depend on, and can be explained by, the material’s structure. A range of models at the atomic and molecular scale enable explanation and prediction of the structure of materials, and how this structure influences properties and reactions. Students conduct investigations to develop their understanding of patterns in the properties and composition of materials. They explore the structure of materials by describing physical and chemical properties at the macroscopic scale and use models of structure and primary bonding at the atomic and subatomic scale to explain these properties. They are introduced to the mole concept as a means of quantifying matter in chemical reactions. Contexts that could be investigated in this unit include history of atomic model development, use of radioisotopes, energy transfers in industry and the human body, and analysis of elements in living things. Participation in a range of experiments and investigations will allow students to progressively develop their suite of science inquiry skills while gaining an enhanced appreciation of chemical structure and properties, and reaction enthalpy. Throughout the unit, students develop skills in observation, experimentation and data analysis to describe and explain periodicity, material chemistry and energy transfers in chemical reactions.
