SCH4C - Chemistry, Grade 12

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. evaluate the effects of chemical substances on the environment, and analyse practical applications of qualitative analysis of matter.

• B2. investigate matter, using various methods of qualitative analysis.

• B3. demonstrate an understanding of the basic principles of qualitative analysis of matter.

• C1. evaluate the impact on society, human health, and the environment of products made using organic compounds.

• C2. investigate the physical and chemical properties of organic compounds, and analyse some common organic chemical reactions.

• C3. demonstrate an understanding of the structure and the physical and chemical properties of organic compounds.

• D1. analyse technological applications or processes relating to oxidation-reduction reactions, and assess their impact on the environment.

• D2. investigate the oxidation-reduction reaction that occurs in a galvanic cell.

• D3. demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of oxidation and reduction, and the principles of oxidation-reduction reactions.

• E1. analyse processes in the home, the workplace, or the environmental sector that use chemical quantities and calculations, and assess the importance of accuracy in chemical calculations.

• E2. investigate chemical compounds and chemical reactions using appropriate techniques of quantitative analysis, and solve related problems.

• E3. demonstrate an understanding of the mole concept and its quantitative relationships in chemical reactions.

• F1. evaluate the importance of government regulations, scientific analyses, and individual actions in improving air and water quality, and propose a personal plan of action to support these efforts.

• F2. investigate chemical reactions, using appropriate techniques of quantitative analysis.

• F3. demonstrate an understanding of chemical reactions that occur in the environment as a result of both natural processes and human activities.
