Course Description
The intent of this course is to develop an understanding of the fundamental
concepts in chemistry. The topics which will be covered include Skills and Processes
of Chemistry, the Nature of Matter, Atomic Theory, the Mole Concept, Chemical
Reactions, Solution Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. Throughout the course,
students will further their understanding of these topics by utilizing the knowledge
and skills gained to conduct experiments, perform discussions, complete assignments
and group projects.
Required Textbooks
1) Hebden Chemistry 11: A Workbook for Students by James A. Hebden
2) Heath Chemistry Laboratory Experiments (Lab Manual)
Supplies Required
Please have a 3-ring binder, notebook or loose-leaf papers to copy notes and a
scientific calculator (graphing calculators are not allowed during tests).
Expectations
1) Be on time for class.
2) For missed tests and assignments with a valid reason, incompletes will be given
first. Then, student will have an opportunity make up for the missing work. Please
see the teacher about the deadline. It is student’s responsibility to make up for the
missing work as soon as possible.
3) There will be no re-tests unless there are extenuating circumstances explained to
the teacher. A doctor’s or parent’s note must be provided.
4) For cheating on tests, student will receive an automatic zero, sent to the principal’s
office and parents/guardians will be contacted.
5) Treat everyone with respect and courtesy.
6) Check the homework board daily for assignments and notices.
