Senior Chemistry

Nelson Chemistry Units 1 & 2 and Units 3 & 4 have been specifically designed to cover the three strands of the ACARA Australian Curriculum: Senior Chemistry. The book has been structured to provide a contextual approach to teaching and learning of chemistry. Context chapters in the first part of the book (four in Units 1 & 2 and six in Units 3 & 4) provide popular contexts that cover the Science as a Human Endeavour strand as well as some of the Science Inquiry Skills strand. Chemistry chapters in the second part of the book provide the chemistry content that covers the Science Understanding strand as well as some of the Science Inquiry Skills strand.

These books are supported by NelsonNet resources and an interactive NelsonNetBook. Find out more about these resources here.

 Key Features

• Full coverage of the three strands of the Australian Curriculum: Senior Chemistry
• Four popular context chapters for Units 1 & 2, and six for Units 3 & 4
• Chapters addressing SU and SIS strands
