Course description

This course provides an overview of the core concepts of chemistry. Students will understand foundational topics in chemistry, examine its central role in agricultural/environmental contexts, and describe chemical phenomena in both qualitative and quantitative ways. Experience will be gained in laboratory safety and chemistry procedures. Students will also develop their skills in collecting, analysing, and presenting data/information, and work independently and in small groups. Commencing 2024, the requirement to undertake CHEM1004 Chemistry is conditional on whether you have completed Queensland Year 12 Chemistry (or equivalent): 1. If you have not passed Queensland Year 12 Chemistry (Units 3 & 4) (or equivalent) in secondary school, CHEM1004 is compulsory. 2. If you achieved a grade of C in Queensland Year 12 Chemistry (Units 3 & 4) (or equivalent), it is recommended to complete CHEM1004. 3. If you achieved a grade of B or higher in Queensland Year 12 Chemistry (Units 3 & 4) (or equivalent), CHEM1004 is not required, and you may select an additional 2 units of electives from your program course list. Student having undertaken CHEM1004 prior to 2024 are not impacted. Please contact AGFS Student Admin via email (agriculture@enquire.uq.edu.au) if you would like to discuss your enrolment options.
