CLARKSON SECONDARY SCHOOL Course Code: SCH 3U0 Course Name: Chemistry, 11 University Preparation Prerequisite: Science, Grade 10, Academic Text: Chemistry 11 Addison Wesley Cost of Replacement: $100 Course Description This course enables students to deepen their understanding of chemistry through the study of the strands described below. Students will further develop their analytical skills and investigate the qualitative and quantitative properties of matter, as well as the impact of some common chemical reactions on society and the environment. Overall Course Expectations By the end of this course, students will; Matter, Chemical Trends, and Chemical Bonding • every element has predictable chemical and physical properties determined by its structure • the type of chemical bond in a compound determines the physical and chemical properties of that compound • it is important to use chemicals properly to minimize the risks to human health and the environment Chemical Reactions • chemicals react in predictable ways • chemical reactions and their applications have significant implications for society and the environment Quantities in Chemical Reactions • relationships in chemical reactions can be described quantitatively • the efficiency of chemical reactions can be determined and optimized by applying an understanding of quantitative relationships in such reactions Solutions and Solubility • properties of solutions can be described qualitatively and quantitatively, and can be predicted • living things depend for their survival on the unique physical and chemical properties of water • people have a responsibility to protect the integrity of Earth's water resources Gases and Atmospheric Chemistry • properties of gases can be described qualitatively and quantitatively, and can be predicted • air quality can be affected by human activities and technology • people have a responsibility to protect the integrity of Earth's atmosphere ASSESSMENT BREAKDOWN INCLUDING CATEGORIES AND WEIGHTINGS.
lab investigations (recipe or design) research presentations unit tests theory/application assignments case study analysis risk / benefit analysis Concept/mind maps • to investigate quantitative relationships in chemical reactions and related problems •to demonstrate an understanding of the mole concept and its significance to the quantitative analysis of chemical reactions Solutions and Solubility Students will learn: • to analyse the origins and effects of water pollution and a variety of economic, social and environmental issues related to drinking water • to investigate qualitative and quantitative properties of solutions and solve related problems • to demonstrate an understanding of qualitative and quantitative properties of solutions Gases and Atmospheric Chemistry Students will • to analyse the cumulative effects of human activities and technologies on air quality and describe some Canadian initiatives to reduce air pollution, including ways to reduce their own carbon footprint • to investigate gas laws that explain the behaviour of gases and solve related problems • to demonstrate an understanding of the laws that explain the behaviour of gases LEARNING SKILLS Learning Skills will be reported on the student’s report card. The following chart indicates the skills and look-fors for each student. WORKS INDEPENDENTLY TEAMWORK ORGANIZATION HABITS/HOMEWORK INITIATIVE Self-Regulation The student: accomplishes independently accepts responsibility for accomplishing tasks follows instructions regularly completes assignments on time and with care uses time effectively The student: works willingly and cooperatively with others listens attentively, without interrupting takes responsibility for his/her share of the work to be done helps to motivate others, encouraging them to participate shows respect for the ideas and opinions of others The student: organizes work when faced with a number of tasks devises and follows a coherent plan to complete a task demonstrates ability to organize and manage information follows an effective process for inquiry and research The student: completes homework on time and with care follows directions shows attention to detail perseveres with complex projects that require sustained effort applies effective study practices The student: seeks out new opportunities for learning seeks necessary and additional information requires little prompting to complete a task, approaches new learning situations with confidence and a positive attitude seeks assistance when needed The student: sets individual goals and monitors own progress seeks clarification or assistance when needed reflects and assesses critically own strengths, needs and interests perseveres and makes an effort when responding to challenges Additional Information: Course Website

Assessment & Evaluation Policy CHEATING: Students are expected to demonstrate HONESTY and integrity and submit assessments that are reflective of their own work. Cheating is defined as completing an assessment in a dishonest way through improper access to the answers. Examples include, but are not limited to; using another student’s work as your own, using an unauthorized reference sheet during an assessment, receiving / sending an electronic message to another student with test questions / answers, etc. In to ensure that all assessments are free from cheating, Students will: review school policy with regards to academic honesty submit their own work for evaluation to show evidence of skill and knowledge use only teacher approved materials during an evaluation demonstrate the qualities of good character and good intention (honesty, caring, respectful, responsibility,) when preparing evidence of their learning. If a student cheats on an assessment, Students may be: required to complete an alternate evaluation under direct supervision in a timely manner required to write a reflective piece which demonstrates an understanding of the character attribute of honesty. assigned a mark deduction referred to a vice-principal assigned a zero. Plagiarism: Students are expected to demonstrate HONESTY and use proper citations and referencing when completing assessments.
be responsible for maintaining on- going communication with their teacher take responsibility for missed work during all absences . If an evaluation is submitted after the absolute deadline, Students: must notify the teacher and explain why the assignment was not submitted students may be asked to provide a note from a parent/guardian may be required to complete the assignment or an alternate assignment under supervision may be referred to a school support team or a vice-principal may be placed on a contract for assignment completion may be involved in an action plan to complete the required assignment within a given time frame may be assigned a zero.
