Science - Year 11: Chemistry - Organic Chemistry SHE: The Task...

The Task: Chemistry SHE Semester 2 2019

Investigation of Medicinal Drug Design in Chemistry (1000-1500 words) IAE3  KA1  KA3

TASK:

Select, analyse and synthesise information from a variety of sources to:

  • Explain the science relevant to the production of drugs - their structures, properties and their uses (use of diagrams, pictures and images is encouraged)
  • Show the connection between organic chemistry used in drug design and manufacture and society by using the SHE key concepts of Communication and Collaboration, Development, Influence and Application and Limitation
  • Outline current and future applications, limitations and any beneficial or unexpected consequences
  • Develop and justify your conclusion

 

THE WRITTEN REPORT SHOULD TAKE THE FORM OF:

  1. An introduction to identify and clearly state the focus of the investigation (100-150 words)
  1. Relevant Organic Chemistry related to your topic or background into past and current techniques and developments (250-300 words)
  1. A Science as a Human Endeavour discussion, highlighting how the SHE key concepts can be observed in your chosen topic. This discussion should be structured by using the following guide:

Statement: A clear statement that highlights the focus of the coming paragraph

Evidence: Provide evidence from the sources to further explain and validate your point

Justification: Justify this point through further elaboration and linking it to how it affects society or how society has affected it.

Each argument made will require an explanation that integrates both the scientific understanding and the different SHE concepts explored and should follow this structure. (500-600 words)

  1. A conclusion with justification (150 words)
