Grade 12 Chemistry
2016 Course Outline
Teacher:
Ms. Suzy
Prerequisite Course:
Chemistry 11
Description/Rationale
This course is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills they need to meet
the entrance requirements for university programs. It emphasizes both independent
research skills and independent learning skills. In addition, it focuses on the concepts and
theories that form the basis of modern chemistry. Students will study the quantitative
aspect of chemistry through stoichiometric examination; investigate the different forces of
attraction involved in matter and how it influences their properties; and explore how
organic chemistry is used in developing new products and processes that affect our lives
and our environment. Emphasis will also be placed on the importance of chemistry in other
branches of science.

their own learning, to attend all classes and to complete homework on a daily basis. When
absent, students are responsible for obtaining and completing missed class work.
Assignments, lab reports, and projects must be completed and submitted on time. Students
are expected to write tests on the predetermined date.
ASSIGNMENT POLICY:
Assignments are to be ready on the due date assigned by the teacher. A 10% penalty will be
applied to assignments for each of the first two days then are late a 100% penalty will be
applied on the third day. Assignments are due at the beginning of class. Homework must be

notified of upcoming tests (not quizzes) approximately one week in advance. When a test is
missed a student will receive a mark of zero. A make-up test may be given (with the
teacher’s discretion) if the student submits a note of explanation (singed by a parent).
Students who miss more than one test per term may lose the right to write a make-up test.
Any test missed without a valid reason will remain as a mark of zero
