Havergal's Uncalendar, 2016-2017 Academic Year

SCH3U – Grade 11 Introduction to Chemistry, Grade 11, University Preparation Have you ever had an existential moment where you look at a glass of water and wonder: Why do ice cubes float? Why does water evaporate? Why does water exist everywhere? Why don’t I melt like the wicked witch when I drink water? Chemists too ponder these questions and use models to understand the behaviour of matter. In this course you will be amazed by the patterns in the behaviour of solids, liquids, gases and solutions both theoretically and in the physical realm. You will develop explanations for these observations of the world, perfect precise lab techniques to quantify and qualify matter, and discover new functions on the TI-83. Program content: Unit 1 Matter, Chemical Trends and Chemical Bonding; Unit 2 Chemical Reactions; Unit 3 Quantities in Chemical Reactions; Unit 4 Solutions and Solubility; Unit 5 Gases and Atmospheric Chemistry; Unit 6 Scientific Investigation Skills and Career Exploration (Integrated). Prerequisite: SNC2D – Science, Grade 10, Academic 1 CREDIT All around us, the physical world is in constant motion: pole vaulters sail through the air, the Earth whips through space at 30 kilometres a second going around the sun, and even tiny electrons jump through the air when you touch a metal doorknob in winter. In this course, we begin the task of finding and understanding patterns in these motions, aiming to make sense of what nature shows us and finding, along the way, that mathematics is just another way of expressing these relationships. The application of this knowledge produces the technology all around us, which affects our lives, society and the environment. The course will take us through the following topics: • Kinematics or “How do things move?” • Forces or “Why do things bother to move to begin with?!” • Energy or “We all think we have it, but we keep wanting more—a double-edged problem for society?“ • Electricity and Magnetism or “Why do electrons in wires make my hairdryer work and what could this possibly have to do with a magnet anyway?!” • Waves and Sound or “Why does something bumping way over there make a noise in my ears way over here?” Prerequisite: SNC2D – Science, Grade 10, Academic SPH3U – Physics, Grade 11, University Preparation
