The Chemistry program is an extension of the programs in Secondary Cycles One and Two. It is intended to consolidate and enrich students’ scientific training and is a prerequisite for several pre-university or technical programs at the college level. Its content focuses on one subject with compulsory concepts organized around four general concepts: gases, energy changes in reactions, reaction rate and chemical equilibrium.
The content is addressed in meaningful contexts that may require the application of knowledge related to the major areas of study in previous science and technology programs or knowledge associated with various subjects, themes and problems. In particular, special attention must be paid to strengthening the link between chemistry and mathematics.
