Course Description
This course enables students to deepen their understanding of chemistry through the study of the properties of chemicals,
bonding, reactions and quantitative relationships in those reactions as solids, solutions, and gases. Students will further develop
their analytical skills and investigate the qualitative and quantitative properties of matter.
Required Learning: Big Ideas
To earn this credit, students must demonstrate learning of the following big ideas:
Atomic Theory and Periodicity (Chapter 2 & 3)
●
●
Every element has predictable chemical and physical properties determined by its structure.
The position of an element in the periodic table can be used to predict its properties
Chemical Bonding and Structure(Chapter 4)
●
●
●
The type of chemical bond in a compound determines the physical and chemical properties of that compound.
Chemical can bond in a variety of ways predictable ways.
The VSEPR can be used to to predict the shape of covalently bonded molecules
Stoichiometric Relationships (Quantities in Chemical Reactions Chapter 1)
●
●
Relationships in chemical reactions can be described quantitatively.
Properties of solutions and gases can be described qualitatively and quantitatively, and can be predicted.
Energetics/Thermochemistry (Chapter 5)
●
●
All chemical and physical changes involve an exchange of energy with the surroundings
The energy change associated with a chemical reaction can be measured and predicted in a variety of ways.
Chemical Kinetics (Rates of Reaction Chapter 6)
●
●
Reaction rates can be described qualitatively and quantitatively using a variety of methods.
The collision theory can be used to explain a variety of factors that affect the rate of a chemical reaction
Evidence of Learning includes:
Atomic Theory and Periodicity Unit Test
Bonding Unit Test
Quantities in Reaction Unit Tests (2)
Energy Changes Unit Test
Major Lab One (Aspects of Internal Assessment Rubric)
Major Lab Two (Aspects of Internal Assessment Rubric)
Assignments (On-line quizzes, gizmos, pen and paper assignments)
Group IV Project: additional handout
Final Evaluation: Exam

Course Evaluation
●
●
Throughout the course, teachers will gather evidence of student learning through observations, conversations, and studentproduced work.
Seventy percent (70%) of the final mark will come from term work, and thirty percent (30%) will come from final
evaluations. Report card grades will reflect the student’s most consistent level of achievement, with consideration given to
more recent evidence.
Learning Skills
The Learning Skills and Work Habits section of the provincial report card is an integral part of a student’s learning. Students
will be assessed in the following areas:
●
Responsibility
●
Independent Work
●
Organization
●
Initiative
●
Collaboration
●
Self-Regulation
The following scoring system is used for Learning Skills: E=Excellent; G=Good; S=Satisfactory; N=Needs Improvement
Course Materials
In order to be successful it is important to be organized and prepared for each class. You will be expected to have the following
items with you in class each day:
● Pens, pencils, ruler and calculator (cell phones and other electronic devices are not permitted)
● Binder with plenty of lined paper, dividers (to separate units)
● Standard Level Chemistry (text) and IB Data Booklet
Sometimes internet access is required and although students have access to computers at the school, these resources are limited,
so a laptop would be useful.
Absences
Absences must be validated and missed work completed outside of class time. If you miss a unit test or major lab for a valid
reason, be prepared to complete it on the day you return. It is your responsibility to find out what you missed and catch up after
being absent. If you know ahead of time about an absence make arrangements beforehand!
Extra help is available– your teachers are pleased to assist you! The Science Office is Room F434; please make
arrangements with your subject teacher or visit peer tutoring in room A202 if extra help is needed.
