Course Description
CHEMISTRY
GRADE 11
FULL YEAR – 1 CREDIT
This is a faster-paced, more in-depth version of the Conceptual Chemistry course that satisfies the criteria of a “lab-science” by all four-year non-vocational colleges. Examples of science-related jobs one could pursue, with further study, after taking this course are registered nurse, veterinarian assistant, radiologist, and lab assistant. Topics will include atomic structure, compounds, reactions, gases, bonding, solutions, acids, bases, and nuclear chemistry. Lab activities will be done to support concepts being studied. Basic Algebra skills will be used in solving problems. A research paper or project may be required. In this course, students will study materials contained in the following content standards: Science and Technology: A, B, C, D3.
Criteria for Acceptance in the course:
Has taken physical science and biology Passed Algebra I Recommendation of teacher
Expectations for Student Performance:
Maintain an organized science notebook Consistent effort on homework Participation in class discussions and lab activities
Means for Measuring Student Achievement:
Tests and quizzes Lab reports Homework Science notebook
