Students use models that explain the basic scientific phenomenon and relate it to everyday situations.
Students use conceptual and physical models to explore theory and relate it to preexisting concepts.
6. classify biological molecules according to their molecular structures and recognize their roles in biological systems. Graded activities are designed to measure students' abilities to use higher order thinking skills in their understanding and applying of chemical concepts. A comprehensive final exam is required. Divisional Assessment Chemistry 112 will be assessed every 5 years in the winter. The committee will develop a time-line to monitor the assessment process during the five year cycle to ensure that assessment activities are occurring in order to have sufficient data to undertake a formal assessment at the end of the cycle.
