Course structure

Note: You can access the Google Sheet here.
Decisions and rationale
  • Simplicity: For the first year of the new course, I have erred on the side of simplicity and so will try to avoid the transfer/mixing of individual understandings outside of the subtopic to which they belong. I'm hoping this will facilitate easier tracking of content coverage and less time spent finding and/or creating resources such as unit tests.
  • IA practice: At my school, we complete the IA at the end of Year 1 so Reactivity 2.1 (How much?) and Reactivity 2.2 (How fast?) will be covered before touching on any of the bonding units. This is to maximise exposure and practice with IA skills earlier in the course.
  • Retrieval practice: I will cover Structure 3.1 (The periodic table) and Structure 2.4 (From models to materials) at the beginning of year 2. These seems like good topics to review much of the content in year 1 and facilitate plenty of retrieval practice after the summer break.
