Chemistry 11
Prerequisite
Science 10 and Foundations and Precalculus Math 10 or permission from the course teacher.
Description
Chemistry 11 fully meets the learning outcomes for the BC Curriculum. It is the pre-requisite for Chemistry 12 and recommended for Biology 12.
This course was designed to be engaging, easy to navigate, and to help students come to both a conceptual and mathematical understanding of the mole, stoichiometry, solution chemistry, atoms, periodic table and periodic properties and organic chemistry at the grade 11 level. Each lesson contains carefully selected practice problems and extra resources.
Online lessons are video-based, and students have complete control over the pace at which they learn—lessons can be paused, resumed and repeated using simple navigation buttons. Examples are interactive with animated step-by-step video whiteboard solutions. Extra resources, including alternate lessons and examples, have been carefully selected to assist students who need additional instruction.
Chemistry 11 is organized into the following units:
- Unit 1: Safety and Measurement
- Unit 2: Matter and Naming
- Unit 3: The Mole
- Unit 4: Stoichiometry
- Unit 5: Atoms, Periodic Table, & Solutions
- Unit 6: Organic Chemistry
Students will be assessed with formative unit send-in assignments, unit tests, lab reports, a research project, and two supervised Term Tests (Term 1 on Units 1-3, Term 2 on Units 4-6)

Delivery
Student-paced – 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
At the end of most units, there is a send in assignment which the teacher will use to assess the student’s understanding, and give the student specific feedback on their strengths and how to improve in the course.
There are 5 timed take-home unit tests and 2 online supervised Term Tests (Units 1-3 and Units 4-6) in Chemistry 11. Each unit test and each Term Test is intended to take roughly 1.5 hours.
Tests are completed at home, and the Term Tests are supervised online using Integrity Advocate (a webcam is mandatory).

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.
