Cambridge Chemistry VCE Units 1&2 (print and digital)

Cambridge Senior Science Chemistry VCE, the latest addition to our suite of exceptional science and maths resources for VCE, has been created by a highly experienced author team to guide your students to success in the new Study Design with an approach that builds essential skills and gives them all the assessment support they need to excel.

• The new study design is comprehensively covered without overwhelming students – content is signposted with explain icons that indicated need-to-know assessable material, with additional engage boxes exploring why a topic is important but not assessable.
• Extensive assessment and exam preparation support includes valuable advice on how to approach exam questions, tips for completing assessment tasks such as multi-modal and oral presentations, modelling of logbook entries and assessment samples, skills boxes, practice exams, and research and practical investigations.
• Essential chemistry skills are built through print and video worked examples with explanations, experimental and inquiry tasks, worksheets, formulas and equations, the combination of formative and summative check-in and section questions and unit reviews. As these skills are developed, students will be able to confidently and accurately apply Chemistry models, theories and concepts to describe, explain, analyse and make predictions about physical phenomena.
• Teachers are supported by a range of tools in the Online Teaching Suite including a test generator, task manager and the Exam Generator which allows teachers to create custom practice exams drawing on past VCAA questions and VCAA-style questions and filter by Area of Study, key term, question type and level of difficulty. Teachers also have access to a range of editable, downloadable activities, practicals, and worksheets plus curriculum grids, curated weblinks and chapter tests.
