Grade 11 Chemistry students are progressing well in their pre-IB Chemistry course, building a strong foundation for their first unit. Their current studies aim to solidify essential experimental skills, crucial for success in higher-level chemistry.
The class is focused on:
Measuring Variables: Accurately measuring and recording experimental data is paramount in scientific inquiry. Students are refining their skills in this area.
Applying Techniques for Standard Solutions: Understanding the purpose and methods for preparing standard solutions is a fundamental skill in chemistry, and students are gaining practical experience in this domain.
This week’s activities provided hands-on learning experiences:
Diverse Chemical Reactions: Students conducted a variety of chemical reactions, honing their observation skills and learning to identify gases produced.
Observation and Documentation: Careful observation and recording of experimental observations are essential practices that students are developing.
Chemical Equations: Students deepened their understanding of chemical reactions by writing balanced chemical equations to represent their observations.
This intensive pre-IB coursework, culminating in their summative assessment on September 18th, is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in the Diploma Chemistry program.
