Tagwi Secondary School Grade 12 College Preparation Chemistry - SCH 4CE  Teacher: Dr. R. Hammond e-mail: robert.hammond@ucdsb.on.ca  Course Level: College Preparation Grade: 12 Credit Value: 1 Room: 223  Text: Chemistry 12 (Nelson) Prerequisite: SNC 2D / SNC 2P __Course Description __ This course introduces students to the concepts that form the basis of modern chemistry. Students will study qualitative analysis, quantitative relationships in chemical reactions, organic chemistry, electrochemistry, and chemistry as it relates to the quality of the environment. Students will employ a variety of laboratory techniques, develop skills in data collection and scientific analysis, and communicate scientific information using appropriate terminology. Emphasis will be placed on the role of chemistry in daily life and in the development of new technologies and products.   __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';
