Physical Science: Chemistry — Grade 11
Student & parent course guideReading libraryParent teaching plan · 36 weeks- Investigating Matter
Build the measurement, classification, and evidence skills used throughout chemistry.
- Atoms, Electrons & Periodicity
Connect atomic evidence, isotopes, electron arrangements, spectra, and periodic patterns.
- Bonding, Formulas & Molecular Structure
Build names, formulas, Lewis structures, and structure-property explanations.
- Reactions, Moles & Composition
Account for atoms, charge, particle counts, and measured composition.
- Stoichiometry & Yield
Calculate reacting amounts, identify shortages, and interpret production results.
- States of Matter & Gases
Relate particle motion, attractions, gas models, and phase-change energy.
- Solutions & Dissolved Particles
Study saturation, concentration, conductivity, and particle-count effects.
- Acids, Bases & Titration
Separate strength from concentration and connect proton transfer with pH, buffers, and titration.
- Chemical Energy & Thermodynamics
Use calorimetry, Hess’s law, entropy, and free energy with explicit systems and signs.
- Rates & Equilibrium
Distinguish reaction speed from equilibrium composition and calculate direction of adjustment.
- Redox, Cells & Nuclear Chemistry
Track electron transfer, electrical energy, isotope change, and statistical decay.
- Organic Chemistry & Material Design
Use carbon structure, polymer properties, and life-cycle evidence to evaluate materials.
