Theory for HSC Chemistry Teachers 8/9/23

This NESA ACCREDITED workshop is designed for teachers new to teaching HSC Chemistry plus those who would like to refamiliarise themselves with the content, background theory and make connections across the different modules of the HSC Chemistry syllabus. We will be unpacking:

• Equilibrium and Acid Reactions
• Acid/Base Reactions
• Organic Chemistry
• Applying Chemical Ideas
• Opportunities for Depth Studies

In addition, we will connect with the 'assumed knowledge' from the Year 11 syllabus.
