Chemistry
Chemical
reactions are occurring all around us on a daily basis: in the kitchen, our
vehicles, the environment, our bodies, etc. We believe that all students will
benefit from exploring chemistry as a discipline. Several courses are currently
offered.
Chemistry
30S (CH 30S)
This
course includes a significant laboratory component. Topics include Physical
Properties of Matter, Gases and the Atmosphere, Chemical Reactions, Solutions
and Organic Chemistry. (Prerequisites: Science 20F (with a strong performance in
the Chemistry Unit) and Introduction to Applied and Pre-Calculus Math
20S).
Chemistry
32S (CH 32S)
Chemistry
32S (Advanced Placement Chemistry) is designed to be a rich and rigorous
mathematical and conceptual course.
It is strongly based on experimental experience.
Every student will build a portfolio of laboratory work representing a
significant part of their overall evaluation. Topics include: Atomic Structure,
Mass & Mole Relationships, Reactions in solution, Gases, Thermochemistry,
Introductory Quantum Theory and Chemical Bonding. The pace is often accelerated
with topics tending to be either abstract or mathematically challenging.
Students are expected to be able to work independently as well as cooperatively.
Students will be invited to participate based on their performance in Science
20F or Science 20FH and Introduction to Applied and Pre-Calculus Math
20S.
Chemistry
40S (CH 40S)
The
Chemistry 40S course is a rigorous analytical challenge. Topics are increasingly
abstract and theoretical – building on a strong foundation of fundamentals from
Chemistry 30S. Students must have a strong mathematical background. Topics
include: Atomic Structure, Kinetics, Chemical Equilibrium, Acid-Base Equilibria,
Solubility Equilibrium and Oxidation Reduction. (Prerequisites: Chemistry 30S
(a minimum standing of 65% recommended) and Pre-Calculus Math
30S)
Chemistry
42S (CH 42S)
Chemistry
42S (Advanced Placement Chemistry - level II) is intended to provide students
with the equivalent of first year university (college) Chemistry. Significant
laboratory work is a requirement. Students will extend the portfolios started in
the Chemistry 32S course. This program has both abstract and mathematically
demanding topics. Students must be prepared to engage in topics both
independently and cooperatively. Topics include: Intermolecular Forces,
Properties of Solutions, Kinetics, Equilibrium, Acids and Bases,
Electrochemistry, Entropy and Free Energy and miscellaneous topics. One of the
desired outcomes is for students to successfully write the Advanced Placement
Exam. Students will be invited to participate based on their performance in
Chemistry 32S and Pre-Calculus Math Honours 30SH.
