accurate data collection, identification of sources of error,
reporting results and conclusions)
 Identify applications of stoichiometry
3. Unit two: From Structures to Properties

metallic bonds
 Investigate structural models of bonding
 Examine bond energies of different compounds
 Explain hydrogen bonds and van der Waals’ forces
4. Unit three: Organic Chemistry
 Investigate the number of diversity or organic compounds
 Explain the evolution of organic chemistry regarding
development and technology
 Classify organic compounds based on names and/or
structures
 Write formulae and provide names of various organic
compounds
 Determine applications of organic chemistry
 Investigate the formulae and reactions of Isomers

chemistry
Marking Scheme for Chemistry 11
Class work: 10%
Lab Reports: 10%
Assignments: 15%
Quizzes: 15%
Tests: 25%
Final Exam: 25%
Total: 100%
Class Work: Class work will consist of Practice Problems and
Worksheets assigned in class that you will have time to complete. All
completed Practice Problems and Worksheets must be put in your
Chemistry 11 duotang. The duotangs will be collected and marked
accordingly. It is expected that you must show all steps for calculation
questions and that all questions are answered in complete sentences.
Marks will be lost if all work is not shown and/or sentences are not
provided. Practice Problems are due the class after they are assigned.
Working together is encouraged however copied work will be given a
mark of zero.
Lab Reports: You will be given a criteria heet to follow for all lab
reports that you write. Lab activities will be conducted in groups
selected by the teacher, however lab reports must be handed in
individually. Copied lab reports will be given a mark of zero.
Assignments: Assignments will be assigned prior to chapter quizzes or
Unit tests in order to review the concepts that will be covered by the
quiz or test. Projects may also be assigned throughout the course, and
these are classified as assignments with regards to your grade in this
course. Assignments will be longer and more detailed than class work
and often time extra time will be needed in order to complete these.
Due dates of assignments will be determined by the teacher but will be
close to the dates of quizzes or tests. Again working together is
encouraged however handing in identical work as a peer will result in a
mark of zero.
Quizzes: Quizzes will be given at the conclusion of a chapter and may be
given throughout the chapter depending on length of chapter or if
additional practice is needed.
Tests: Tests are always given at the conclusion of a unit and may be
given during Midterm Week if the conclusion of a unit is not near this
week. Tests cover more material than quizzes and will be longer in
length and duration.
**** If you have missed an assessment please present a note stating the
reason of your absence. Be prepared to complete the assessment the
day you return to school.
**** There will be one day a week to be determined where I will tutor
after school from 3-4. It is not required to go to this session however it
is strongly suggested that if you want extra help that you come to this
session.
