Curriculum Aims
The aim of the Chemistry Curriculum is to
provide chemistry-related learning experiences
for students to develop scientific literacy, so
that they can participate actively in our rapidly
changing knowledge-based society, prepare
for further studies or careers in fields related
to chemistry, and become life-long learners in
science and technology.

Learning and Teaching
The broad aims of the curriculum are to enable
students to:
- develop interest and maintain a sense of
wonder and curiosity in chemistry;
- construct and apply knowledge of chemistry
and appreciate the relationship between
chemistry and other disciplines;
- appreciate and understand the evolutionary
nature of science;
- develop skills for making scientific inquiries; Learning Targets
- communicate ideas and views of science-
Students are expected to:
related issues using the language of
- understand phenomena, facts and patterns, principles,
chemistry;
concepts, laws and theories in chemistry;
- develop open-mindedness, objectivity and
- appreciate applications of chemistry in society and in
pro-activeness;
everyday life;
- show appropriate awareness of working
- develop scientific thinking and problem-solving skills;
safely;
- develop curiosity and interest in making scientific
- be aware of the social, ethical, economic,
investigation;
environmental and technological implications
- be aware of the impact of chemistry on social, economic,
of chemistry, and develop an attitude of
industrial, environmental and technological contexts.
responsible citizenship.
Activities
Chemistry is a practical subject and thus practical work is
essential for students to gain personal experience of science
through doing and finding out. The Chemisry panel has
organised different after-school workshops including
‘Soap Production’ and ‘Turning Copper Coin into Silver
and Gold’. Besides, the chemistry teachers use multiple
teaching methods to arouse students’ interest. Through
discussion, information search and project work, students
can develop communication skills, information handling,
critical thinking and making informed judgement. In
addition, the chemistry teachers use IT-based resources to
facilitate students’ learning. Computer-based laboratory
devices allow students to collect and analyse data.
