Chemistry 20Course name and abbreviation:Chemistry 20, CH20 Grade Level:Grade 11 Summary of course content and activities:Course Topics:
Who should be taking this course? For whom is this course designed and intended?Philosophy statement for and/or behind teaching this course:Chemistry is the study of matter and its changes. Through the study of chemistry, you are given an opportunity to explore and understand the natural world and to become aware of the profound influence of chemistry in your everyday life. Major course goals:Apply the principles of energy and matter conservation to chemical systems undergoing change; and use direct evidence and generalizations to predict the outcomes of chemical change; and relate chemical change principles to a variety of reaction applications. Analyze physical, chemical and biological systems in terms of energy and matter forms, transfers, movement and conservation. Explain the interrelationship between energy and chemical changes to matter and how energy is either released or absorbed as chemical bonds are rearranged and new substances are formed; and describe the practical applications of exothermic and endothermic changes. Explain chemical changes to matter; and write balanced chemical equations to describe transformations and analyze them, quantitatively and qualitatively, to make predictions about the products formed or reactants consumed; and apply this knowledge to stoichiometric calculations in a variety of everyday and industrial situations. Describe solution systems, including acids, bases and gases, quantitatively and qualitatively, and relate their properties to their uses. Describe the diverse forms of matter, using models to illustrate bonding and structure, and using theories to explain the properties and behaviour of a variety of elements and organic and inorganic compounds and solutions, including acids, bases and gases. Perform investigations and tasks of your own that have a few variables and yield direct evidence; collect, verify and organize data into tables, graphs and diagrams; and provide explanations based upon scientific theories and concepts. Pre-requisite(s):A mark of 50% or better in Science 10 Number of credits that this course is worth:5 credits Materials and resources provided by NSA, purchased by student, and/or recommended:Provided by NSA:• Nelson Chemistry by F. Jenkins et al., 1993 Purchased by student:• A scientific calculator is required for this course.
