The overarching aim of the Chemistry Curriculum is to provide chemistry-related learning experiences for students to develop scientific literacy, so that they can participate actively in our rapidly changing knowledge-based society, prepare for further studies or careers in fields related to chemistry.
The broad aims of the Chemistry Curriculum are to enable students to:
develop interest and maintain a sense of wonder and curiosity about chemistry;
construct and apply knowledge of chemistry, and appreciate the relationship between chemistry and other disciplines;
develop skills for making scientific inquiries;
develop the ability to think scientifically, critically and creatively, and solve problems individually and collaboratively in chemistry-related contexts;
