L3 Chemistry

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Ms R. Imraan.

  • In this course Students will:
  • · Investigate and measure the chemical and physical properties of a range of groups of substances, for example, acids and bases, oxidants and reductants, and selected organic and inorganic compounds.
  • · Relate properties of matter to structure and bonding.
  • · Develop an understanding of and use the fundamental concepts of chemistry (for example, equilibrium and thermochemical principles) to interpret observations.
  • · Apply knowledge of chemistry to explain aspects of the natural world and how chemistry is used in society to meet needs, resolve issues, and develop new technologies.
