Friday Afternoon Activities Program
Titrations
Titrations is a Friday afternoon activity which is run to develop
and perfect the analytical skills of Year 11 and Year 12 Chemistry
students. This technique and the theory behind it is an integral
section of the Year 12 Chemistry course and is designated a
large percentage of the course mark.
Being competent in this technique allows you to perform it in
class at a high level, contributing to your potential to achieve
excellent results. You will be entrusted with expensive
equipment and will learn to use this equipment for precise
techniques over Terms 2 and 3.
Furthermore, the Titrations Friday activity prepares students to
enter a National Competition, The Titration Stakes, run by the
RACI group, which has been running for over 30 years. This is
a chemical analysis competition designed to encourage students
who enjoy chemistry to develop and perfect their analytical skills
and to reward those who attain a high level of proficiency. It is
one of the most prestigious competitions held at a national level.
This activity has the potential to award “Titration Colours”
dependent on the stage of the competition the student reaches.
Those interested in selecting this option for Terms 2 and 3
should apply with Ms Macdonald.
