  1. Are you currently a grade 10 student planning to take Chemistry 20 and Physics 20 next year? If so, why not consider taking these two credits together in an alternative format?

  2. Larger time blocks for more labs and extended lab activities – periods 1&2, 2&3 or 4&5 depending on scheduling • Integration & merging of content and concepts with less overlap • Opportunities for field trips, speakers, and interesting projects • Potential partnerships or activities with real scientists • Block learning – Learn one complete concept at a time. We may focus on Physics for one week, Chemistry the next. • Work with a group of students with the same interests as you What are the advantages

  3. Fewer small assignments with more authentic, integrated (Chemistry and Physics) and hands on assignments • Better coordination of examinations and other assessments. • You won’t write a chemistry and a physics exam on the same day or even on back to back days! • Due dates of assignments will have less overlap between chemistry and physics. • Themed activities – next year’s theme: • Alternative Fuel/Energy Technologies • Get your hands on zero emission hydrogen fuel cell technology! More advantages

  4. Learn how hydrogen fuel cells and solar panels work with hands on labs. Possible Integrated Physics and Chemistry Resources

  5. Investigate hydrogen powered cell phones and lights Possible Integrated Physics and Chemistry Resources

  6. Investigate one of the following books as well as other print and video media on solutions to our future energy demands Some Integrated Physics and Chemistry Resources

  7. Students who will have completed Math 20 before semester 2 of next year • Students who have a strong math and science background • Students who are capable of independent work and who have a high level of literacy (reading and writing). • Students who are interested in alternative fuel/energy technologies and science • Students who want to try learning in a different format Who is this for?

  8. Chemistry Units • Elements and the Periodic Table • Bonding, Formulas and Naming • Chemical Reactions, The Mole & Stoichiometry • Physics Units • Waves • Light and Optics • Heat and Energy • Integrated Units • Introduction to Chemistry/Physics • Atomic and Nuclear Physics • Fuel sources and currencies • Subject to change Units to be covered

  9. How many credits do I get? • 2 credits – one in Physics 20 and one in Chem 20 • Will I get the same mark in both? • No, not necessarily, some assignments and projects will be integrated and some will not. • If I struggle will I fail two credits? • Not necessarily. You may do better in one of the subjects than the other. • Will this class be harder than taking these subjects separately? • That is not the intent. It is NOT an AP or Advanced Placement class. It is designed to give you more hands on time with the science concepts which should allow you to better achieve Frequently Asked Questions…

  10. Indicate your interest by March 20th by : • Registering online for regular Chemistry 20 and Physics 20 • AND • Signing the sign up sheet in the commons or on the door of room 223 – Mr. Riffel’s room • Without you this course will not exist! • Questions  Ask Mr. Riffel (Rm 223 or kriffel@scs.sk.ca) If this is you…
