Teaching Methods
It will be important and also expected that multiple teaching methods will be used in a science class. There will be lectures, demonstrations, as well as multimedia sources being used. You as students will experience both individual and group work throughout the year. The use of various computer programs can be expected from you as well. The overall teaching method will be determined and modified upon further review of your needs.
Topics of Study
Unit
Review Grade 11
(~ 4 Classes)
Topic Objectives
Basic review of material to prepare for course work. After the review a test will be given on which students must score a grade of >60%. If a student is unable to score > 60% they will be required to attend an afterschool help session, then have another chance to score >60% The major focus of this unit is to learn about common organic compounds and describe their properties and reactions. The significance of organic chemistry, in the context of technological applications and quality of life, is explored. The major focus of this unit is studying energy as it relates to chemical changes and quantify the energy involved in thermochemical systems, and consider the various aspects of energy use on society. The major focus of this unit is to study electrochemical change and analyze the matter and energy changes within a system, with a focus on oxidation-reduction reactions. The major focus of this unit is the concept that chemical change eventually attains equilibrium is developed, followed by a focus on the quantitative treatment of reaction systems involving acidbase solutions.
A Organic Chemistry
(~ 15 Classes)
B Thermochemistry
(~ 15 Classes)
C Electrochemistry

Evaluation/Assessment
Evaluation per Reporting Period Unit Exams Assignments, Quizzes, Projects Labs 40% 35% 25% Final Course Evaluation Average of Reporting Periods Final Exam 50% 50%
Check-ups and Quizzes are held within each unit and a final unit exam after each unit. Not all work handed in will be used in determining students average. A units grad will be weighted based on the number of days required for that unit
Course Materials
Nelson Chemistry Alberta 20/30 (bring with you every class!!!) Lined, graph, and blank paper 2 inch binder (recommendation is to use a binder as hand outs will be given) Writing utensil, Scientific Calculator, Coloured Pencils Something to hold your hair back while working in lab
Extra Help
If you are unsure of something ask! I am here for you!! Take the time to ask me questions or set up an appointment to get extra help. Use the website as much as possible as it is updated frequently and checked often. There are many other resources at your disposal when a situation like this arises and I encourage you to use them all. You should ask at least 2 other classmates before approaching me with a question. The ideal time to ask a question is during work time, at the end of class, during lunch, or after school.
