Grade 11 Science
Natural Approach to
Chemistry
Unit Description
The central premise of this
program is that chemistry is
all around each of us, every
day. Chemistry is us.
We eat chemistry. We drink
chemistry. Chemistry is the
complex choreography of
atoms and molecules that
sustains life. Chemistry also
reveals the working details
of the non-living world.
Chemistry is both how we
create the materials of
human technology, and also
how the natural world builds
and renews itself.
Conceptually, this course
will take a system-view,
wholistic approach to
chemistry that is different
from the historical
reductionist approach. From
the very beginning we will
use the ideas of atoms,
energy, and systems that
unify physics, chemistry,
earth science, and biology.
The goal is to provide
students with a useful
knowledge of chemistry that
can help them succeed in life
and in any career, (not only
as a scientist.)
