Faculty of Education

Chemistry

Chemistry subjects are offered by the School of Chemistry in the Faculty of Science. Teaching method in Chemistry remains the responsibility of the Faculty of Education.

Year 1 Chemistry covers the basic principles of Chemistry and their applications, and supports the teaching of Chemistry topics in junior science programs. Year 2 subjects develop these principles further, providing a balanced foundation of physical, inorganic, organic and analytical chemistry which supports further studies in Chemistry, and gives a broad basis for the teaching of Chemistry throughout the secondary school. In Year 3, a continuation of at least three of these areas is recommended, together with more specialised subjects.

You may not gain credit for both the Education Faculty and Science Faculty versions of a subject, for example Chemistry B34 and 610-210 Physical Chemistry. For advice, please contact the Education Faculty Office.

For details of Chemistry subject objectives for each year level, refer to the Chemistry section in the Faculty of Science section of the Handbook.Chemistry

In 1996 some Chemistry subjects were subject to a quota. For advice on selection and enrolment please contact the Education Faculty Office.


Recommended Year 2 subjects

Recommended Year 2 subjects

Semester 1
610-220 Organic Chemistry
610-260 Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopic Methods

Semester 2

610-240 Inorganic Chemistry

You may substitute 610-211 Physical Chemistry, 610-221 Organic Chemistry or 610-241 Inorganic Chemistry (18 pts) for the related subjects, depending on your main area of interest.


Recommended Year 3 subjects

The recommended Year 3 subjects for students who have passed all of the subjects 485-246 (or 485-247) Chemistry B31 or B32, 485-249 Chemistry B33, 485-250 Chemistry B34, and 485-252 Chemistry B35 are as follows. (Students who have passed only some of these four subjects should consult student advisers to determine the appropriate subjects to undertake).

Recommended Year 3 subjects

Semester 1
610-310 Physical Chemistry1
610-340 Inorganic Chemistry I1
610-220 Organic Chemistry1
or
610-221 Organic Chemistry
You should choose two of these three subjects.

Semester 2
610-360 Analytical Chemistry and Instrumentation1
and subjects chosen from
610-346 Chemistry of Estuaries and Oceans
610-343 Bioinorganic Chemistry
610-320 Organic Chemistry I
(if 610-220 is taken in Semester 1)


Recommended Year 4 subjects

Students who have taken Year 3 Education Faculty subjects and who wish to undertake further studies in Chemistry in Year 4 are advised to choose from the following subjects:

Recommended Year 4 subjects

610-323 Organic Natural Products Chemistry
610-324 Industrial Organic Chemistry
610-342 Materials and Processes
610-398 Polymer Chemistry and Spectroscopy
610-399 Chemical Research Project2

You should consult the Science Faculty timetable, and clarify your School Experience D requirements before choosing subjects in Year 4.


1. These subjects should be regarded as core subjects, and it is recommended that three of these be chosen. Other subjects may be chosen as desired.

2. This Research project would normally be taken in Year 4. It may however be possible for suitably qualified Year 3 students to undertake the subject.
