Welcome to Chemistry 11

The chemistry 11 curriculum emphasizes the applications of science to everyday living and the skills needed in the workplace.  To prepare students for further education and for their adult lives.  The chemistry 11 curriculum engages students in the investigation of scientific questions and the development of plausible solutions.

This class is aimed at all students interested in further scientific knowledge and will serve students who are not planning to take further science course and those who are planning to take chemistry 12 equally well.
