Chemistry 20 Course Outline
Mr. Gray
Welcome to Chemistry 20! In this course we will delve more deeply into the world of chemistry, carefully examining chemical processes and looking at the theories behind them. This course begins with a review of the chemistry material learned in Science 10. The major topics introduced in this course are: chemical reactions, an in-depth study of solution chemistry, properties and behaviours of gases, quantitative analysis (stoichiometry), a theoretical unit on chemical bonding, and an introduction to organic chemistry. This course requires strong math skills.
Topics:

Resources:
The textbook we will use is Nelson Chemistry. However, our class notes and experiments are also valuable resources. Thus, it is important that you keep organized notes, actively participate in class and review material daily. You are expected to have a 3-ring binder with loose-leaf paper, pencils, erasers and a scientific calculator. You must bring your textbook, binders, paper, pencils and calculator to every class.
The Key to Success:
The key to success in Chemistry 20 is to have a good foundation in the basics studied in Science 10. The first two weeks are critical. If you are having difficulty you should get extra help. Ask for it. Regular completion of homework exercises will reinforce the concepts learned daily. Homework will be evaluated on a regular basis. The key to success is not a secret: good attendance, working in class, and doing the homework. Work hard and have a good year!
Guidelines and Expectations:
We need our classroom to be an effective learning environment. For this to happen, we must all take responsibility for our actions and attitudes. The following guidelines clarify what is expected of you in Chemistry 20:
·
Respect
in our classroom, we will all demonstrate courtesy, commitment,
dedication, tolerance, teamwork and sportsmanship.
· Attendance you are required to attend every class. Assignments and tests missed due to an unexcused absence will receive a zero.
o For all absences, you are responsible for the material covered that day and the homework assigned.
o If you miss a test or quiz, you need to bring in a note in order to make up the test/quiz
· Be on time
· Be prepared you must bring your textbook, binder and papers, pencils and calculator to every class.
o If you do not have a calculator for days when we write quizzes / exams you will hope that someone will have an extra.
· Class time use your class time as effectively as possible.
o Be in class when the period begins
o Work until the end of the period
o Work in a manner that does not disrupt others
o Leaving class requires permission (unless puking is involved)
o
Dont ask
to leave during notes or quizzes/tests
· Talking in class only one person should be talking at a time.
o When I am teaching, you are expected to listen
o When others have a comment, you are expected to listen
o When you have a comment others are expected to listen
· Classroom behaviour if you use your class time efficiently and work quietly, our classes will run smoothly. However, on days when we have lab experiments there are some extra guidelines:
o Absolutely no horsing around
o Safety must be demonstrated at all times
o Respect lab equipment
o Clean-up you must leave your work area clean
o Unsafe lab behaviour will lead to you being unable to participate in labs
· Due Dates You are expected to complete your work by the given due dates. Late assignments will be penalized 5% daily. Assignments later than 3 days will not be accepted.
o Assignments are due at the beginning of class.
o If you are unable to complete an assignment by the given due date, you must make other arrangements with me prior to the due date.
