Program Goals

1

To ensure a thorough and comprehensible treatment of all content and process expectations in the SCH4U curriculum

• Complex chemistry concepts are presented in a clear, understandable fashion • Important concepts, such as thermodynamics, are treated in greater depth than specified in the curriculum

2

To equip students with the independent learning, problem solving and research skills essential for success in post-secondary studies

• Self-contained and self-explanatory lessons • A variety of self-evaluation and self-checking strategies • A mature design similar to what students will experience with first year university/college texts • The placement of lab activities at the end of chapters parallels the formal separation of theory and labs in university courses
