View the complete Learning Outcomes for this course: Chemistry 11 PLO
It is recommended that students complete Science 10 or equivalent with a good foundation in mathematics.
Chemistry 11 has been developed to promote the acquisition of knowledge and the learning of problem solving skills as related to core chemistry concepts. This course emphasizes the application of chemistry in everyday life, including skills required in the workplace, while promoting positive attitudes towards science.
Chemistry 11 course is organized into five Units. Each Unit consists of several Lessons, and each Lesson has an associated Quiz. In addition, each Unit has a Lab Activity. Students are not required to perform the labs on their own, but rather are given sample lab data to manipulate and analyze. There are three tests, with no final exam.
