Choose Biology if • interest in understanding more about how the human body
(and plants) works
• prefer writing to doing Mathematics
• have a strong passion in pursuing biology related interests and careers
Taking Chemistry in Upper Secondary:
(1) What’s Chemistry?(2) Fie ld and Care e rs in Che m is t ry(3 ) Expe cta t ions
(1) WHAT IS CHEMISTRY GOOD FOR?Do you know about Silicon Valley?
Silicon Valley is a region in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California that serves as a global center for high technology, innovation, and social media
(1) WHAT IS CHEMISTRY GOOD FOR?But why Silicon Valley?
Silicon comes from Sand!And it is the material used to make computer chips
Silicon is a metalloid, atomic number fourteen with an atomic weight of twenty-eight.
It is known for its semiconductor properties.
(1) WHAT IS CHEMISTRY GOOD FOR?Other uses of Silicon
The uses for silicon are varied, silicone grease can be used to lubricate a Rubix cube in order make it spin fast enough for use in a “speed cubing” competition
silica gel packets are heavily relied upon to keep moisture out of packaging and silica is even used as a food additive.
(1) WHAT IS CHEMISTRY GOOD FOR?How does the soap remove oil stains from our hands?
OIL WATEREMULSIFIER
(3) Careers in Chemistry
You can work chemistry into any industrial, educational, scientific, or governmental field.
Mastery of chemistry is associated with excellent analytical and mathematical skills (Problem solving).
These skills are useful for any job!

What is Physics?• Physics is the branch of Science
that explores and explains how the universe works.
Why study Physics?• Find out how the world actually works, see deeper
behind what is happening in the real world• People good in physics are highly sought after both in
engineering and in physics• Physics provides good complement to what you study in
mathematics

Courses and Career Prospects• Engineering (Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical & Electronic,
Civil, Computer, Biomedical…)• Robotics• Design • Environment• Software Programmers• Business and Accountancy• Health Sciences• Life Sciences
• Physics provides such a broad training that whatever career you have in mind, physics will stand you in good stead.
• All employers value the skills that physics develops: an ability to grasp things quickly, a determination to find coherent answers, along with problem-solving, analytical, mathematical and IT skills.
