Upcoming Assessments It is expected by the science department that university bound students will do supplemental reading of indicated textboo

sections on their own, this material is testable. Please see page 24 - 25 of student handboo regarding homewor policy Tip: start studying for tests one wee in advance, exams one month in advance. S tudy in small 20 minute chun s rather than one big bloc of time. Study actively not passively, practice problems over and over again, see pgs.35 and 36 of stud ent handboo . I recommend 30 -40 minutes of homewor /study per day for each science and math c ourse you are ta ing. Extra help is available every day at lunch, and after school by appointment. Als o online tutorial available, see below. Contact your Teacher Ms. Francis: ms_francis_ css@yahoo.ca What is my mar ?

S tudents will further develop problem-solving and laboratory s ills as they inves tigate chemical processes, at the same time refining their ability to communicat e scientific information. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of chemistry in daily life, and on evaluating the impact of chemical technology on the envir onment.

Throughout this course, students will: demonstrate an understanding of safe labo ratory practices by selecting and applying appropriate techniques for handling, storing, and disposing of laboratory materials (e.g., safely disposing of organi c solutions; correctly interpreting Wor place Hazardous Materials Information Sy stem [WHMIS] symbols), and using appropriate personal protection (e.g., wearing safety goggles); select appropriate instruments and use them effectively and accurately in colle cting observations and data (e.g., use a calorimeter in heat transfer experiment s); demonstrate the s ills required to plan and carry out investigations using labo ratory equipment safely, effectively, and accurately (e.g., select and use appar atus safely in an experiment to determine the mass of a metal deposited by elect roplating); demonstrate a nowledge of emergency laboratory procedures; select and use appropriate numeric, symbolic, graphical, and linguistic modes o f representation to communicate scientific ideas, plans, and experimental result s (e.g., use the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion [VSEPR] model to predict the shapes of molecules); compile and interpret data or other information gathered from print, laboratory , and electronic sources, including Internet sites, to research a topic, solve a problem, or support an opinion (e.g., research the uses of the most commonly sy nthesized organic compounds); communicate the procedures and results of investigations for specific purposes by displaying evidence and information, either in writing or using a computer, i n various forms, including flow charts, tables, graphs, and laboratory reports ( e.g., construct visual models that explain intermolecular and intramolecular for ces); express the result of any calculation involving experimental data to the approp riate number of decimal places or significant figures; select and use appropriate SI units; identify and describe science- and technology-based careers related to the subj ect area under study (e.g., describe careers related to thermochemistry, such as chemical engineering).
