Grade 12 U Chemistry Page

Date: July 2006

Welcome Grade 12's to Mr. Warren's Chemistry course. This site is designed to assist you in keeping up and getting ahead in the chemistry program.
First off, if it has been a while since you have done chemistry then you should go to my grade 11 site, all you have to do is just

This site is written on a weekly timeline and is in three parts but it will tell you precisely what is covered in the grade 11 program. It is written following a time line, but will tell you what is covered in the grade 11 program.
Look at the topics that are not in this course. This is the material that you should already know. Review it if necessary. Feel free to ask any question you wish.

Sites listed in the grade 11 page will give you an excellent review and knowledge if needed of material that you should be familiar with from the previous grade. You should be able to handle and know everything in the sample grade 11 exam; makes for a nice recap of material you should be familiar with.

Homework ==> always do the follow-up questions from each chapter. A complete list of relevant questions is found on the homework site (see link). After each day a short list of "must be able to" questions will be given.

Main Topics = Course Outline

Atomic Structure and Molecular Architecture
Organic Chemistry; Nomenclature and Reactions
Energy, Enthalpy and Reactions Rates, Nuclear Reactions
Equilibrium; An Introduction
Equilibrium; Applications, Acid Base Equilibrium
Redox reactions and Electrochemistry

Course notes are provided on each of these topics via the Internet. These notes are rather complete and cover all the material to be taught.

Student Expectations

Opportunities to write tests that are missed because of absence will be permitted only under special circumstances (my call on this).
Students who miss tests for other than a valid reason will receive zero and have this reflected in their final assessment of this course.
This same priciple applies to lab and assignment work.
A $100.00 deposit on the book is required; however you may find the book not as crucial as expected. It's major use is for homework questions and resource material. You will not be assigned sections of the book for any type of "do-it-yourself" project. Summer school has an IOU system, which is different than night school.
No food or beverages are permitted in the class. The classroom is not for lunch or refreshments.
There will be an independent polymer assignment, it is based on the Internet more than the text book.
Hopefully there will be at least one lab per unit. Failure to either be here or not hand in will result in a zero. You are expected to complete a lab component of this course.
Night school: Be punctual, show up on time: 6:30 PM, class ends at 9:30 PM.
Break time is around 8:00 PM for 10 - 15 minutes.
Summer school: Classes beging at 8:00 AM
1^st break 9:30 to 9:40 which is 10 minutes
Lunch 11:10 to 11:30
2^nd break at 12:20 to 12:30 which is 10 minutes
Classes end at 2:06 for the first two weeks and 1:30 the last two. This is to accomodate the fact that we started on a Tuesday, not the usual Monday.
Expect to stay in this class working on assignments till you are dismissed. If you do not meet the time requirements your credit may be withheld.
Do not take advantage of the break times: play games with this and you may be asked to leave this course.
All tests and quizzes must be written; play attendance games and you just get a zero.
Do your homework; will probably be checked using a quiz (which may be open note book).
Exam to be written ONLY on the day stipulated; Friday July 28

Evaluation

Tests, Quizzes 60% One Per Unit
