Web Development 9

• Chemistry Subjects : Science 8/9/10, Science Chemistry 11 / 12 and Advanced Placement Chemistry 12

​​

Science 8: This course includes fun lab activities, inquiry projects and collaborative projects and class work. This course also influences a positive attitude to science and understanding the importance of it in the real world. The big topics in chemistry include kinetic molecular theory and Atomic Theory.

​

Science 9: This course also projects the values of Science 8. During the year, students will investigate in Chemistry the Electron arrangement of atoms impacts their chemical nature and the Formation of Compounds. This course involves lab experiments, demonstrations and other activities.

​

Science 10: This course develops your skills learned from science 8 & 9. Students will learn how chemical processes require energy change as atoms are rearranged in the chemistry section of the course. The main goal of the course is to help students become aware and concerned about the physical world.

Chemistry 11: This is a course that will further introduce you to chemistry that will enhance your skills in the laboratory and how to deal  with problem solving and analysis of data using extensive scientific concepts! Various options such as nuclear chemistry, gases, biochemistry, environmental and industrial chemistry will be offered. A scientific calculator is crucial for this course for it includes math problems.

Chemistry 12: In order to be placed into this course you need a strong foundation of the concepts of chemistry 11 to study at an advanced and professional level of the topics such as kinetics, chemical equilibrium, solubility, acids and bases and electrochemistry. Previous laboratory work will be needed and also include qualitative and quantitative analysis. The key skills you will need for this course is problem solving, understanding concepts and critical thinking.

​

Advanced Placement Chemistry 12: this course is a replica of the general chemistry course students usually take in the first year of university or college. Topics to be covered include: Structure of Matter, Organic Chemistry, States of Matter, Descriptive Chemistry, Reactions, and Laboratory.
