Welcome to Chemistry 20!The Chemistry 20 Program of Studies can be found HERE
|
Course at a Glance
Requirements: 50% or higher in Science 10 - recommended 65%
Evaluation: The course is composed of 4 units. Students
will be evaluated on their summative course work – tests, quizzes, lab reports
and Unit Exams.
Chemistry 20 consists of four units of study;
Unit A: Diversity of Matter - 20%
Unit B: Forms of Matter: Gases - 16%
Unit C: Matter as Solutions, Acids and Bases - 32%
Unit D: Quantitative Relationships in Chemical Changes - 32%
General Outcomes for this course are:
A: Students will describe the role of modeling, evidence and theory in explaining and understanding the structure, chemical bonding and properties of ionic and molecular substances.
B: Students will explain molecular behavior, using models of the gaseous state of matter.
C: Students will investigate solutions, describing their physical and chemical properties. Students will describe acidic and basic solutions qualitatively and quantitatively.
D: Students will explain how balanced chemical equations indicate the quantitative relationships between reactants and products involved in chemical changes.
Lates: It is expected that you will be in your desk and ready to work by the second bell. If you should come late to class, you will often find the door closed and locked. Please do not bang on the door, just knock politely and I will let you in as soon as it is convenient to do so.
Absences: You are expected to take an active part in your schooling. For this reason, you are responsible for finding out about missed assignments. I will not hunt you down over missed work. Arrangements should be made immediately upon your return to school to get missed work in. Some assignments and labs may be impossible to repeat and for these assignments you may have to accept an alternative assignment. If you have to miss a test or a quiz for any reason, phone the school office BEFORE the scheduled exam or quiz and have the secretaries report this to me.
