This is a unit which develops students' understanding of important chemical concepts and principles in physical and inorganic chemistry. The unit illustrates the applications of chemistry worldwide. An ATAR chemistry background is assumed.
Must have received a mark of over 50 in Chemistry ATAR OR must pass 1 unit from SCC1123 OR equivalent
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECUs LMS

In this unit, students take part in lectures, pre-laboratory activities and briefings, and laboratory work Lectures provide students with the theoretical background in chemistry. Laboratory work gives students opportunity to put into practice lecture material, learn chemical laboratory skills and recording of observations. The pre-laboratory activities require students to identify risk and hence appropriate handling of chemicals. The pre-laboratory briefings discuss appropriate handling and disposal of chemicals in terms of personal safety and environmentally sustainable practice.

Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation. All marks and grades are to be considered provisional until endorsed by the relevant School Progression Panel.
Due to the professional competency skill development associated with this Unit, student attendance/participation within listed in-class activities and/or online activities including discussion boards is compulsory. Students failing to meet participation standards as outlined in the unit plan may be awarded an I Grade (Fail - incomplete). Students who are unable to meet this requirement for medical or other reasons must seek the approval of the unit coordinator.
