Tagwi Secondary School Grade 11 University Preparation Chemistry - SCH 3UE  Teacher: Dr. R. Hammond e-mail: robert.hammond@ucdsb.on.ca  Course Level: University Preparation Grade: 11 Credit Value: 1 Room: 223  Text: Chemistry 11 (Nelson) Prerequisite: SNC 2D __Course Description __ This course enables students to deepen their understanding of chemistry through the study of the properties of chemicals and chemical bonds; chemical reactions and quantitative relationships in those reactions; solutions and solubility; and atmospheric chemistry and the behaviour of gases. Students will further develop their analytical skills and investigate the qualitative and quantitative properties of matter, as well as the impact of some common chemical reactions on society and the environment.   __Evaluation __ The course will be divided into a 70 % term mark and a 30 % summative assessment. The term mark will be evaluated for each of the four areas for achievement (knowledge/understanding, thinking, communication, application) which will be weighted equally. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> **//<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Knowledge and Understanding: //**<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Subject-specific content acquired in each course (knowledge), and the comprehension of its meaning and significance (understanding). <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> **//<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Thinking and Investigation: //**<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">The use of critical and creative thinking skills and inquiry, research, and problem-solving skills and/or processes. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> **//<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Communication: //**<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">The conveying of meaning through various forms. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> **//<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Application: //**<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">The use of knowledge and skills to make connections within and between various contexts. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">The assessment and evaluation policy at Tagwi is aligned with the Upper Canada District School Board’s “//Student Assessment and Evaluation Framework: 2007//.” <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> __<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-variant: small-caps;">Learning Skills __ <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Excellent attendance & punctuality, having an organized & complete notebook, completing homework, and participating, cooperating and demonstrating teamwork are other important keys to success that __will be assessed__ and recorded on your reports home using the scale of excellent, good, satisfactory or needs improvement. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">
