THE ONTARIO CURRICULUM: Science
Course Overview
This course enables students to deepen their understanding of chemistry through the study of organic chemistry, the structure and properties of matter, energy changes and reaction rates, equilibrium in chemical systems, and electrochemistry. Students will further develop their problem-solving and investigation skills as they explore chemical processes and refine their ability to communicate scientific information. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of chemistry in everyday life and on evaluating the impact of chemical technology on the environment.
UNIT ONE
Organic Chemistry
Essential Question: How do organic compounds affect human health and the environment?
This unit covers organic compounds, their properties, and reactions, emphasizing their prevalence and significance in everyday life.
UNIT TWO
Structure and Properties of Matter
Essential Question: How does molecular structure influence the characteristics of chemicals?
Students will explore the relationship between molecular structure and chemical properties, understanding how molecules behave based on their structure.
UNIT THREE
Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction
Essential Question: What is the role of energy in powering biological and industrial processes?
The focus is on the chemical reactions that produce energy, exploring how these reactions provide necessary power for both biological functions and industrial applications, including factors that affect reaction rates.
UNIT FOUR
Chemical Systems and Equilibrium
Essential Question: What happens in chemical reactions that do not go to completion?
Students will study chemical equilibrium, learning that most reactions are reversible and do not go to completion, which has significant scientific and economic implications.
UNIT FIVE
Electrochemistry
Essential Question: How can electrochemistry contribute to environmental sustainability?
In this unit, students examine electrochemistry’s role in everyday life, such as in batteries and corrosion, focusing on applications like developing greener batteries.
