SCH3U - Chemistry, Grade 11

SCH3U, Chemistry (Grade 11) is comprised of the following units:

The following strands will be covered throughout this course. For more information please see The Ontario Curriculum, Grade 11 and 12 Science, 2008 (revised).

• A1. demonstrate scientific investigation skills (related to both inquiry and research) in the four areas of skills (initiating and planning, performing and recording, analysing and interpreting, and communicating).

• A2. identify and describe careers related to the fields of science under study, and describe the contributions of scientists, including Canadians, to those fields.

• B1. analyse the properties of commonly used chemical substances and their effects on human health and the environment, and propose ways to lessen their impact.

• B2. investigate physical and chemical properties of elements and compounds, and use various methods to visually represent them.

• B3. demonstrate an understanding of periodic trends in the periodic table and how elements combine to form chemical bonds.

• C1. analyse chemical reactions used in a variety of applications, and assess their impact on society and the environment.

• C2. investigate different types of chemical reactions.

• C3. demonstrate an understanding of the different types of chemical reactions.

• D1. analyse processes in the home, the workplace, and the environmental sector that use chemical quantities and calculations, and assess the importance of quantitative accuracy in industrial chemical processes.

• D2. investigate quantitative relationships in chemical reactions, and solve related problems.

• D3. demonstrate an understanding of the mole concept and its significance to the quantitative analysis of chemical reactions.

• E1. analyse the origins and effects of water pollution, and a variety of economic, social, and environmental issues related to drinking water.

• E2. investigate qualitative and quantitative properties of solutions, and solve related problems.

• E3. demonstrate an understanding of qualitative and quantitative properties of solutions.

• F1. analyse the cumulative effects of human activities and technologies on air quality, and describe some Canadian initiatives to reduce air pollution, including ways to reduce their own carbon footprint.

• F2. investigate gas laws that explain the behaviour of gases, and solve related problems.

• F3. demonstrate an understanding of the laws that explain the behaviour of gases.
