When does this course run: This Year 10 Science course runs in either Semester 1 or 2.
Does it really Matter? The stuff of Chemistry: Atoms are all around us. They are the building blocks of our world and everything in it. How atoms behave and react with each other can lead to extremely different outcomes, including an appearance of nothing to devastating explosions, the production of energy for life to continue to the production of substances necessary for modern electronics.
