G11 Chemistry
Course Description
This course enables students to deepen their understanding of chemistry through the study of the properties of chemicals and chemical bonds; chemical reaction and quantitative relationships in those reactions; solutions and solubility; the atmospheric chemistry and the behaviour of gases. Students will further develop their analytical skills and investigate the qualitative and quantitative properties of matter, as well as the impact of some common chemical reactions on society and the environment.

- Strategies actually used in the classroom are indicated in the chart above and reflected in classroom instruction
Assessment for learning (AFL) is diagnostic and formative for the purposes of greater learning achievement and is used at the beginning of a unit to help determine a starting point for instruction. - Assessment as learning (AAL) is assessment as a process of developing and supporting students’ active participation in their own learning.
- Assessment of learning (AOL) is an assessment for purposes of providing evidence of achievement for reporting. It is conducted at the end of each learning unit/work section and provides students with the opportunity to synthesize/apply/demonstrate their learning and their achievement of the stated expectations via Observation, Conversation, and Product.
There are four levels of achievement for students who are passing the course:
- Level 1 (50-59%)
- Level 2 (60-69%)
- Level 3 (70-79%)
- Level 4 (80-100%)
Level 3 is the provincial standard for student achievement.
The percentage grade represents the quality of the students’ overall achievement of the expectations for the course and reflects the corresponding achievement as described in the achievement chart for mathematics. Term work will be 70% of the overall grade for the course; the summative evaluations will be 30% of the overall grade, incorporating summative evaluation and a final written examination.
| Percentage of Final Mark | Categories of Mark Breakdown |
|---|---|
| 70% | Term Work student product (tests) Observations(performance tasks) |
| 30% | Final Written Exam 30% |
Within the 70% term mark and the 30% summative mark, the breakdown of the achievement chart categories will be approximately 25% Knowledge/Understanding, Application 25%, Communication 25%, and Thinking/Inquiry 25%.
The evaluation for this course is based on the student’s achievement of curriculum expectations and the demonstrated skills required for effective learning. The final percentage grade represents the quality of the student’s overall achievement of the expectations for the course and reflects the corresponding level of achievement as described in the achievement chart for the discipline.
Proctoring
The tests are typically a paper-pen evaluation written at a mutually agreed time, date, and location. The tests will be proctored, meaning a suitable adult with a dedicated identifiable and authentic email address will supervise you writing the tests. This process ensures the security and integrity of the test. Any person related or affiliated to the student in a personal way cannot serve as a test supervisor.
Resources required by the student
- A non-programmable, non-graphing, scientific calculator
- A scanner, smartphone camera, or similar device to upload handwritten or hand-drawn work
- A front-facing camera on a desktop, laptop, or mobile device to allow for proctoring over the internet
- Internet access and a modern standards-compliant web browser
The tuition for this course is $800 for Canadian students and $2000 for international students.
Refunds
Maple Leaf School does not issue refunds. When a student enrolls in our course, MLS administration team undertakes many tasks including establishing electronic/physical files, assigning teachers and tracking the enrolment for Ministry purposes, etc. The work is completed by our school the moment you register online.
