  4. Curriculum Comparison between NSS, CE and AL for Materials Chemistry New contents compared to HKALE (adapted from NSS Chemistry Curriculum): 1. Explain the properties of cellulose and chitin in terms of their structures (Discovering Chemistry 56.2&3) 2. Compare structural features of cellulose and chitin (Discovering Chemistry 56.2&3) 4

  5. Curriculum Comparison between NSS, CE and AL for Materials Chemistry New contents compared to HKALE (adapted from NSS Chemistry Curriculum): 1. Formation and uses of cyanoacrylate (superglue) (Discovering Chemistry 57.3) 2. Polymeric biomaterials such as polylactide (PLA) (Discovering Chemistry 57.4) 5

  6. Curriculum Comparison between NSS, CE and AL for Materials Chemistry New contents compared to HKALE (adopted from NSS Chemistry Curriculum): 1. Explain the differences in properties (e.g. hardness and conductivity) between metals and alloys (Discovering Chemistry 58.2) 2. Relate the uses of alloys (e.g. steel and brass) to their properties as compared with the pure metals from given information (Discovering Chemistry 58.2) 6

  7. Curriculum Comparison between NSS, CE and AL for Materials Chemistry 7

  8. Curriculum Comparison between NSS, CE and AL for Materials Chemistry New contents compared to HKALE (adapted from NSS Chemistry Curriculum): 1. Understand the green chemistry practices in the production of synthetic materials including the use of less hazardous chemical synthesis and safer solvents and auxiliaries (Discovering Chemistry 60.2) 2. Evaluate processes for the production of synthetic materials using the principles of green chemistry (Discovering Chemistry 60.3) 8

  9. Materials Chemistry • To broaden students’ knowledge and understanding of materials chemistry. • Cover many new topicsto secondary students. • Some of the topics are taught in university previously. • Secondary school topics are application-oriented.
