You will learn the basic theoretical principles underlying the subject. There is a strong emphasis on using these principles to solve problems. You will learn and develop important investigative skills as you tackle new practical tasks and challenges. Skillful use of equipment will be coupled with powerful analytical and evaluative techniques. At the end of Year 12, formal exams will be taken and an assessment of performance before progression.
