ORGANIC CHEMISTRY (weeks 1-2)
We will conclude our studies of organic chemistry (see Term 1 descriptor, weeks 6-10).

THE FUTURE OF ENERGY
Energy: the world needs it, it's all around us, but what's the best way to produce it, capture it, store it? Let's look at this issue through a chemist's eyes! What's inside a battery? Let's find out! Come learn about the chemistry behind different types of batteries, and about the future of battery chemistry as the world looks for better batteries with higher energy density to power things like electric cars with even longer driving distances.
There will be an internal assessment opportunity (AS91393 - 3 credits).

Outcomes: 
I can compare and contrast electrochemical and electrolytic cells.
