Course: Chemistry 11 Teacher Name: Ms. Krista Wood & Murray Bulgar Contact information: kwood@sd44.ca; mbulgar@sd44.ca Website information: Summer Learning - http://www.sd44.ca/school/summer/pages/default.aspx Homework and class information www.mswoodscience.weebly.com Course Description: Chemistry 11 is an introduction into the field of Chemistry focusing primarily on the nature of matter. Throughout the course students will learn the fundamental skills of chemistry related to chemical reactions, atomic theory, solution chemistry, the mole, and organic chemistry. Much of the course material is calculation based, and a good working knowledge of the chemistry topics covered in Science 8, 9, and 10 will be essential to your success. The nature of chemistry is very sequential; that is, the concepts learned previously will be built on when working in the current topics we will be studying. Course Expectations: It is expected that students will: Abide by the student Code of Conduct Adhere to the Academic Honesty policy Adhere to the Summer Learning Student Engagement policy Respect yourself and others Attend every class and be punctual Inquire, think, and participate to the best of your individual ability Access technology in class for learning purposes only & only when instructed to do so Challenge yourself and have fun learning Summer Learning policies can be accessed at: https://www.sd44.ca/school/summer/policies/pages/default.aspx
Big Ideas: By the end of this course students will be expected understand the following big ideas: Atoms and molecules are the fundamental building blocks of matter Chemical bonds are the results of electrostatic forces Periodicity can be explained by atomic structure The mole is a convenient way to express quantities of particles Matter and energy are conserved in chemical reactions The rearrangement of atoms in chemical reactions is predictable Chemical reactions and their applications have significant implications for human health, society, and the environment Solubility within a solution is determined by the nature of the solute and solvent Solution chemistry and its applications have significant implications for human health, society, and the environment Optional Content: Carbon s ability to form four bonds with itself and other elements results in a wide variety of organic compounds Organic chemistry and its applications have significant implications on human health, society, and the environment. Curricular Competencies: By the end of this course students are expected to be able to do the following: Questioning and predicting Planning and conducting Processing and analyzing data and information Evaluating Applying and innovating Communicating For more detailed information visit: https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/sites/curriculum.gov.bc.ca/files/pdf/10-2/science/en_s_11_che.pdf Core Competencies: The following core competencies will be incorporated into the delivery of this course: Communication Creative thinking Critical thinking Positive personal and cultural identity Personal awareness and responsibility Social responsibility For more detailed information visit: https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/competencies
