Year 11 Chemistry - NSW Curriculum & Learning Programs
CrunchGrade Year 11 Chemistry Tutoring Service in New South Wales offers learning programs where students pick up scientific skills like exploring models, understanding theories and laws, and examining how different phenomena are interconnected. Our Year 11 Chemistry tutors in Sydney help students explore the structure, composition and reactions between elements, compounds and mixtures, use different scales, explanations, specialised representation and predictions in the development of new materials, and visualize how atoms move during chemical reactions.
With the help of our Grade 11 Chemistry tutors, NSW students learn how Chemistry helps in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields as well as in other interdisciplinary studies.
We also offer Year 11 Chemistry tutoring programs for students elsewhere in Australia, including Western Australia and Victoria.
Module-wise Year 11 Chemistry Curriculum We Cover in New South Wales
CrunchGrade tutoring program for students in New South Wales follows the Year 11 Chemistry syllabus as prescribed by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA).
- Year 11 Chemistry Syllabus for Common Module: Working Scientifically Skills focuses on skills, such as developing and evaluating questions and hypotheses for scientific investigation; obtaining, analysing and evaluating primary and secondary data and information; making sure collected data is valid and reliable; selecting and processing appropriate qualitative and quantitative data and information from a range of media; solving scientific problems using scientific process and data analysis and critical thinking skills; communicating scientific understanding of a topic for a specific audience or purpose using appropriate language and vocabulary.
At CrunchGrade, we teach students about significant figures and units, scientific notation, order of magnitude, dimensional analysis and the importance of units in the context of scientific work.
- Year 11 Chemistry Syllabus for Module 1: Properties and Structure of Matter focuses on how properties of substances are used to classify and separate them, how atoms of different elements differ from each other, finding patterns in the properties of elements, how atomic bonding occurs in elements and compounds, and more.
At CrunchGrade, we teach students about scientific models and their limitations, how to use the Periodic Table to identify elements, atomic structure, types of bonding between atoms (including ionic, covalent and metallic), and properties of substances that result from their bonding.
- Year 11 Chemistry Syllabus for Module 2: Introduction to Quantitative Chemistry focuses on chemical reactions, mole concept, how chemicals in solutions are measured, what is the Ideal Gas Law and how it relates to Gay-Lussac's Law, Boyle's Law, Charles' Law and Avogadro's Law and more.
At CrunchGrade, we teach students about
- Year 11 Chemistry Syllabus for Module 3: Reactive Chemistry focuses on the products of a chemical reaction, predicting the reactivity of various metals, and factors that affect the rate of a chemical reaction (such as temperature, surface area, and concentration of reactants).
At CrunchGrade, we teach students about electrolysis, electrochemical cells and corrosion. With the help of our Grade 11 Chemistry tutors in Sydney, students learn how to write and interpret complex chemical equations, including those involving redox reactions.
- Year 11 Chemistry Syllabus for Module 4: Drivers of Reactions focuses on energy changes that occur during chemical reactions, enthalpy changes in a reaction including the Law of Conservation of Energy, understanding and applying Hess's Law to calculate enthalpy changes within reactions, differences between enthalpy and entropy, predict the effect of temperature changes on reaction spontaneity, and more.
At CrunchGrade, we teach students about chemical thermodynamics, including endothermic and exothermic reactions, calculation of heat changes, and using Bond Energy values to calculate enthalpy change.
New Things Grade 11 WA Students Will Learn in Chemistry
Grade 11 Chemistry students are introduced to new concepts like:
- Aqueous reactions and solutions
- Reaction rates and catalysts
- Thermodynamics (enthalpy, entropy)
- Equilibrium
- Redox reactions
- Acid-base reactions
- Electrochemistry
- Organic chemistry (alkanes, alkenes, alcohols)
They also build on concepts and skills they have learned in the Stage 5 curriculum.
Overcome Your Learning Challenges with Year 11 Chemistry Tutoring Online
Students struggle with learning Chemistry in Grade 11 because it is such a dense and challenging topic. The new material builds on concepts learned in previous years, but it also requires students to learn an entirely new way of thinking about chemical reactions and processes.
That's where our Grade 11 Chemistry tutors come in! We can help you overcome any learning challenges you may have with the subject. We will work with you to develop a customised learning plan that covers all the topics you need help with. We also provide regular progress reports so you can see how you are improving.
What Our Grade 11 Chemistry Tutors Help You Achieve?
Grade 11 Chemistry students who choose to work with CrunchGrade gain extensive knowledge and understanding of all scientific concepts covered in the syllabus, including complex and abstract ones. They learn to use correct and precise nomenclature and scientific terms when communicating their ideas.
They develop problem-solving skills and learn to apply their knowledge of Chemistry to new and unfamiliar situations. They become independent and critical thinkers, able to analyse and evaluate data and arguments.
Most importantly, our Grade 11 Chemistry tutors help students develop a love for the subject and a desire to learn more. They gain an appreciation for the role chemistry plays in our everyday lives.

Important Topics in Year 11 Chemistry NSW Curriculum
Senior secondary school students in NSW learn many Chemistry-related concepts which they can apply in their HSC and further studies, as well as in their everyday lives.
Some of the important ones include:
- Atomic structure
- The Periodic Table
- Chemical bonding
- Stoichiometry
- Types of reactions
- Rates of reactions
- Equilibrium
and more.
Challenges in Tutoring Chemistry Course to Year 11 Students
NSW Chemistry teachers on our platform share that many students in their classes find the content challenging. The reason for this is that the Chemistry course requires students to apply their knowledge of Math and Science to understand and solve problems. Hence, our online Chemistry tutors often find that they need to spend extra time helping students with their Math and Science concepts before they can start on the Chemistry content.
Many students find the nomenclature (scientific terms) difficult to remember. This can make it hard for them to follow along in class and do well in tests and exams. Our Chemistry tutors help students overcome this challenge by breaking down the terms into smaller, more manageable pieces and providing plenty of practice opportunities.
To help students visualise the 3D structures of molecules and how intermolecular forces and bonding work, we use specialised software that allows students to see and manipulate molecules in real-time. This makes the learning process much more interactive and fun!
Our tutors assess each student's individual needs and tailor their teaching approach accordingly. This allows us to provide the best possible learning experience for each one of our students.
