Chemistry 11 Course Details
Teacher
Kathleen Pugh
Prerequisite
Science 10 and Foundations and Precalculus Math 10 or permission from the course teacher.
Description
Chemistry 11 was developed to promote the acquisition of knowledge and the learning of problem solving skills as related to core chemistry concepts. The course emphasizes the application of chemistry in every day life, including skills required in the workplace, while promoting positive attitudes towards science and scientific literacy. Activities are based on authentic experiences whenever possible.
There are four modules with a test for each module. Several lab activities are included. Students should attempt to perform the labs only if they have access to an appropriate lab facility including approved safety-related equipment and protective gear. The ability to properly and safely dispose of waste chemicals is also critical. Supervision by qualified personnel is a must. Sample lab data is provided for those students who do not have access to an appropriate facility. A scientific calculator is required. It CANNOT be programmable. The calculator must NOT have a QWERTY keyboard, nor any external devices like memory cards or a printer.
Module 1: Basic Concepts and Skills
Module 2: Periodic Table, Periodic Trends and Combining Elements
Module 3: The Mole, Chemical Reactions, Interpreting Equations, Solutions
