Term 3 Chemistry Online - Year 9

About This Event

Run by Linden from Riverside Science, your child will be engaged with 9 x 60min fun, hands-on and challenging science sessions that will deepen their exploration of chemistry using the Tiny Science Lab 'Chemistry set with chemicals'.  🧪🧪🧪 This course is a deep dive in chemistry, covering chemical concepts in greater breadth and depth than the 'General Science' course, giving your child a practical experience in chemistry that will spark curiosity and deepen skills and knowledge.

For those that joined us for Courses 1 and 2, this is the Course 3 equivalent. It is not a prerequisite that students have completed Years 7/8 (Courses 1 and 2) to join for Year 9 (Course 3).

Check out some of the action from Riverside Science on our Facebook page.

IMPORTANT: You only need to purchase ONE ticket to have access to ALL nine sessions.

Age guide: recommended for 14 to 16 year-olds

When: the online sessions will run weekly on a Friday, 1pm to 2pm, starting on Fri 26th July and finishing on Fri 27th Sept, 2024. Note: there will be no class on 9th August

Curriculum coverage: Course 3 explores chemistry concepts from the Year 9 Science Australian curriculum, these outcomes are highlighted in the accompanying workbook. 

Next steps:
1. Purchase this ticket from 'Event Bookings' ($148.50 + ticketing fee). 

2. If you don't already own one, purchase 'Chemistry set with chemicals' from Tiny Science Lab (contact us for a 10% discount code) - this is an investment in a high quality, extensive set that is yours to keep and will serve your child/ren for chemistry across the high school years, and across multiple online courses with Riverside Science.
