Chemistry: ACT, WA, QLD

meriSTEM chemistry

The current state curriculum/syllabus in the ACT, WA and QLD is a direct version of the Australian Curriculum, though sometimes taught in different orders.

These are example schedules to demonstrate the content of the meriSTEM online course, how it maps to your curriculum, and one way to provide clear study expectations to students.
