Grade 12 Chemistry (SCH4U): Exploring Advanced Chemical Concepts
Deepen Your Understanding of Chemistry and Its Real-World Applications
The SCH4U – Grade 12 Chemistry course enables students to expand their knowledge of chemistry by exploring key areas such as organic chemistry, molecular structure, reaction rates, equilibrium, and electrochemistry. Through laboratory investigations and theoretical learning, students will refine their scientific problem-solving skills and enhance their ability to communicate scientific findings effectively.
This course emphasizes the real-world applications of chemistry, encouraging students to evaluate the impact of chemical processes and technologies on society and the environment. Designed for students pursuing post-secondary studies in science, engineering, healthcare, and related fields, SCH4U provides a strong foundation for further studies in chemistry and other STEM disciplines.
Scientific Investigation Skills and Career Exploration
- Scientific Inquiry and Research: Develop skills in planning, performing, recording, analyzing, and interpreting scientific investigations.
- Career Exploration: Identify and explore careers in science and assess the contributions of scientists, including Canadian researchers, to the field of chemistry.
Key Learning Areas in SCH4U
-
Organic Chemistry: Explore the structure, properties, and chemical behavior of organic compounds while analyzing their environmental and health impacts.
-
Structure and Properties of Matter: Investigate molecular shapes, atomic structure, and bonding, and assess their applications in real-world technologies.
-
Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction: Study reaction kinetics and energy transformations, applying these principles to technological and environmental contexts.
