Syllabus This unit is an introduction to the fundamental nature of matter for students who have not previously studied chemistry. Students who have passed WACE Chemistry 3A/3B or equivalent should instead take CHEM1000 Principles and Processes in Chemistry or CHEM1001 Biological Chemistry. A range of chemical processes that underpin a broad array of disciplines will illustrate the importance of and differences between chemical and mathematical representations of reactions and reactivity. The physical phenomena resulting from bond types and their resulting intermolecular forces will explain the properties of natural and man -made processes and materials. Using examples from nature and biology the role of the certain groups in ascribing reactivity and function of organic molecules will be highlighted.

Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of six Graduate Capabilities during their course of study. These inform an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and capabilities which employers would value in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the Graduate Capabilities through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes notify you of what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your knowledge of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes. Your course has been designed so that on graduating you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Capabilities through the assurance of learning processes in each unit. Graduate Capabilities addressed

On successful completion of this unit students can: 1

Use an atomic-scale approach to observe the main types of bonds formed in molecules, the intermolecular forces found between molecules and their resulting physical properties

2

Employ the principles of chemical measurement to both quantitatively and qualitatively determine chemical species in simple samples

3

Discern between chemical and physical processes and utilise recognised mathematical and symbolic representations to quantitatively and qualitatively describe a chemical reaction

4

Illustrate the chemistry of carbon by classifying organic compounds on the basis of functional groups

Curtin's Graduate Capabilities Apply discipline knowledge, principles and concepts

Innovative, creative and entrepreneurial

Effective communicators with digital competency

Learning Activities The learning activities in this unit are integrated and designed to work together to help you excel in this unit and your future studies by presenting both a process for study as well as the unit material. Check the program calendar at the end of the unit outline for guidance on the schedule of activities in this unit. Due to the impact of COVID19 there have been some changes to unit delivery for this semester. All lectures will be delivered on-line as streamed contentusing the iLecture system. Workshops will be carried out using Collaborate Ultra in Blackboard. The laboratory activities have been modified to two on-campus laboratories and three associated takehome activities. 1. Every class requires some level of preparation before you come. l

Forworkshopsyou should watch the short snapshot lecture, download and attempt the relevant workshop activity prior to your scheduledCollaborate Ultra session.

l

For lectures you should download lecture slides, and read the relevant sections of your textbook prior to the streamed lecture.

l

For the on-campuslaboratory activities, you should review the relevant workshop and lecture resources, read the lab activity carefully, complete any pre-laboratory questions, and make sure you arewearing enclosed shoes and have your lab coat and safety glasses on the day of your experiment.

2. Come to class prepared to actively participate in your learning, ensuring that you maximise your learning by engaging fully and professionally with others. All lectures, workshops, and laboratories are intended to be interactive.

 3. Spend some time reflecting after each class, to consolidate your understanding. l

Forworkshopsyou should attempt the homework problems, complete the on-line quizzes, and seek additional feedback to clarify your understanding.

l

For lectures you should revise the notes and review the textbook.

l

For laboratory activitiesyou should review the problems you haveencountered and make connections to the lecture and workshop materials.

There is an expectation that this unit requires a time commitment of 150 hours over the whole semester (including tuition free periods, study week and university exam period). This equates to roughly 10 hours each week of the semester, comprising timetabled contact (lectures, workshops and laboratories), assessment (in- class, after class, and final assessment) and private study (preparation, reflection and completion of activities). We strongly recommend that you maximise your potential for success by scheduling ample time for preparation and reflection before and after each activity.

 On-campus Laboratory Activities The on-campuslaboratories for this unit will be run in the period Tuesday 29 September to Friday 2 October 2020. You will be required to be on-campus for one day in that period. More details will be distributed during semester. Please ensure that you bring your Student ID card with you when you attend laboratory sessions. You will not be allowed to enter without the ID card. Alternative modes of identification (drivers licence, SmartRider etc.) will NOT be accepted. Make sure you are present promptly at the beginning of the laboratory session as vital health and saftey information is provided at this time and failure to attend may place you or others at risk of injury. You may be barred from entry for being late and missing this vital information or for failure to follow health and safety advice. Make sure you read and understand the laboratory practical before attending, and complete the pre-lab work so that you can maximize your use of laboratory time. Your laboratory schedule will vary depending on your registered class. All class registrations are done through eStudent via OASIS, you will be advised when you can register for your laboratory class. Check OASIS for your personalized timetable and to identify the class number for your science laboratory to ensure you are attending at the right day.

Detailed information on assessment tasks 1. The workshop program consists of twelve (12) workshopsassessed via eleven(11) online quizzesavailable weekly from week 2via Blackboard. Each quiz is equally weighted and will be available for a limited time period (see program calendar for deadlines).The final portfolio and its associated mark will be calculated by the teaching team (there is no need for any resubmission of work) by combining your best nine (9) workshop marks, to give a mark out of 90.

2. The laboratory program consists of 2 on-campusexperiments and 3 associated take-home activities, each of which incorporates a series of key skills to build towards achievement of the following three core competencies: l

Work safely and effectively in a laboratory to solve chemical problems

l

Apply chemical concepts to explain and predict experimental observations

l

Use scientific language to communicate outcomes of practical task

The assessment will include Pre-laboratoryquestions for the on-campus experiments (which must be completed before the laboratory session) andevaluation of labskills and knowledge developed during the laboratory. The on-campus laboratories for this unit will be run in the period Tuesday 29 September to Friday 2 October 2020. You will be required to be on-campus for one day in that period. More details will be distributed during semester. On-campuslaboratory activitieswill be assessed through a combination of pre-laboratory questions, practical laboratory skills and in-class questions.You must attend BOTH on-campus laboratories otherwiseyou will not meet the competencies and will fail the laboratory component. If you miss a lab, you will have the opportunity tomake up one lab. Details on applying for the make up lab will be provided on Blackboard during semester. At-home activities will be assessed throughworksheets that youwill complete independently and submit on-line (see the Program Calendar for details of submission dates).
