This guide, developed for the chemistry 200, 300 program in Manitoba, is designed to articulate with previous science courses, provide concepts, processes, and skills which will enable students to continue in chemistry-related areas, and relate chemistry to practical applications in everyday life. It includes a program overview (with program goals and objectives for chemistry 200 and 300), information for implementing the program, and unit design charts for chemistry 200 and 300 core and optional topics. Chemistry 200 core topics include the periodic table and its elements, matter, organic chemistry, gases, and solutions; optional topics include chemistry of photography, energy, polymers, chemistry of food additives, and chemicals as drugs. Chemistry 300 core topics include electronic structure, bonding, and the periodic table; reaction rate and chemical equilibrium; ionic equilibrium (acids and bases); solubility; and oxidation/reduction reactions; optional topics include analytical chemistry, metallurgy, consumer chemistry, environmental chemistry, and the chemistry of food production. Provided for each of these topic areas is the rationale for its inclusion into the course, recommended time, and objectives (with each objective keyed to suggested activities and references). (JN)
