The following codes and icons are used in the Chemistry Stage 6 Syllabus.
Outcome coding
Syllabus outcomes have been coded in a consistent way. The code identifies the subject, Year and outcome number. For example:
Outcome code | Interpretation |
---|---|
CH11/12-1 | Chemistry – outcome number 1 |
CH11-8 | Year 11 Chemistry – outcome number 8 |
CH12-12 | Year 12 Chemistry – outcome number 12 |
Working Scientifically outcomes 1–7 are common across Year 11 and Year 12.
Knowledge and Understanding outcomes in Year 11 are numbered 8–11.
Knowledge and Understanding outcomes in Year 12 are numbered 12–15.
Coding of Australian Curriculum content
Australian Curriculum content descriptions included in the syllabus are identified by an Australian Curriculum code which appears in brackets at the end of each content description. For example:
Conduct investigations, including the use of devices to accurately measure temperature change and mass, safely, competently and methodically for the collection of valid and reliable data (ACSCH003).
Where a number of content descriptions are jointly represented, all description codes are included, for example (ACSCH001, ACSCH002, ACSCH003).
