Teacher(s)

Marlo Taylor

Prerequisite

Chemistry 11, and Pre-Calculus Math 11 or 80% or higher in Foundations of Math 11.

Description

Chemistry 12 deepens students’ understanding of reaction rates, chemical systems, equilibrium, and electrochemistry. It enhances problem-solving, lab skills, and scientific communication, ideal for those pursuing science, engineering, medicine, or technology.

Course Units:

1. Reaction Kinetics
2. Dynamic Equilibrium
3. Solubility
4. Acid-Base Equilibria
5. Applications of Acids, Bases, and Salts
6. Electrochemistry

Course Details:

• All materials and labs are online.
• Each unit includes a formative assignment and a test.
• Two online lab simulations.
• Timed, take-home unit tests; work is scanned and uploaded.
• Two supervised term tests (webcam and microphone required).

Delivery

This is a self-paced course with continuous enrollment (students may enroll at any point during the year). It is an ideal program for self-motivated students who require flexibility in their academic ventures and who wish to take responsibility for establishing their own timelines. Students are asked to complete a schedule for themselves using the built in scheduler as one of the first activities in the course. This will give students the big picture of their commitment and progress towards completion.

Summary

All content, lab activities and assignments (both self-assessed and teacher-assessed) are available online. At the end of each unit, students will submit a send-in assignment that teacher will use to assess the student’s understanding, and give the student specific feedback on their progress. Students must demonstrate adequate understanding before being permitted to write the unit test.

There are six take home unit tests (1.5hr-2hr), and two supervised Term Tests (each 90 min, based on Unit 1-3 and Unit 4-6)

BC Performance Standards

Support

Online tutorials are available if student would like additional 1-1 help. There is a signup link on the course homepage. The teacher is also available to help by telephone and e-mail

Materials

Students need regular access to a computer with a webcam and microphone, a secondary electronic device with a webcam (such as a smartphone or tablet), and a scientific calculator to complete lessons, notes, labs, assignments, and assessments. A secondary device with a webcam is required for supervised assessments to allow for appropriate monitoring of the student and their workspace. Students must also have access to a scanner or scanning app to submit completed assignments and written work electronically, as paper submissions are not accepted. Please note that cell phones and tablets may not be used as calculators during tests; students must use a scientific calculator.
