If you found electrochemistry interesting or were good at it, do Shipwrecks & salvage, because it's mostly about electrochemical reactions such as in the corrosion of metals etc. Industrial chemistry is longer than shipwrecks, and contains stuff like industrial chemical reactions & how to make soap and other products. I did shipwrecks last year, and found it really easy, because my strong point was electrochemical reactions. In my opinion, shipwrecks is easier (interesting too), so that's a good option to choose.

well the thing is that im not that great at electrochemistry but i would certainly like to reinforce it. And by doing shipwrecks im thinking maybe that could help.

but then again if i don't get any better at it i might get screwed over

We're doing Indutrial Chemistry... we didn't get to pick it either! :mad: He probably chose that cos he knows it as well! I think it would be interesting to do Forensic Chem!

We are doing industrial chemistry.... we didn't really get to choose, we were told what we were doing.

shipwrecks is the shortest and easiest , but also the most dodgy and most boring

ur lucky u get a choice, I would have done chem of art coz I do art and it would complement each other

Yeah it is a small Class...we are on a restricted schedule too rather then having 7 lessons a fortnight we have 6 and one we have to go into the library and do a few dot points on our own...in kinda sucks but at least it is running

and yeah our school does shipwreck every year too...but it would be nice for a change

Shipwreck and Salvage is not too bad .....
I think it is the best you'll got, its interesting and its short, easy quick
It flows extremely well and guide you through....the prac actually implement the theory for a change

So shipwreck all the way

We're doing industrial. It seems to be pretty easy so far, as we've got equilibrium and that sorted out a long time ago. It seems to be mostly recall stuff with some easy maths involved.

Yeah, I think that's why my teacher chose this option. The Kc equation is so easy when you understand it!

We didnt get to pick either and we're doing Industrial Chemistry... its ok because i like equilibrium. However we're like pretty far behind i think, we havent even finished the final core!!.

I would have loved to do biochemistry of movement however, cos i love bio:D prolly cos im doing better at it than chem:(.
