Year 11 Chemistry Depth Studies

What are Depth Studies?

Depth studies are investigations that a student completes which allow for the further development of one or more concepts found within or inspired by the syllabus.

Depth studies provide opportunities for students to pursue their interests in chemistry, acquire a depth of understanding, and take responsibility for their own learning.

Students in Year 11 Chemistry this year undertook two investigations for their depth studies.

Part 1 required students to apply knowledge learnt about rates of reaction and apply it to a real life industrial process through a secondary source investigation.

Part 2 required students to design and conduct an experiment which allowed them to apply their understanding of the factors that affect the rate of chemical reactions and collision theory.

Both investigations were presented as scientific poster, one poster from each student is displayed on this page. Many are also displayed around the school.

Once opened, the posters can be downloaded as a PDF file and viewed clearly in high resolution.
