I will be teaching Chemistry 12 for summer school and I was wondering if I could possible purchase the BC Science 12 book for my class. Let me know.

Chris Toth updated an eventA Collection of Chemical Demonstrations to Support the BC Chemistry 11 Curriculum at H. J. Cambie Secondary School
October 21, 2011 from 10:45am to 11:45am
This workshop will focus on presenting a selection of relatively easy and safe chemical demonstrations that BC grade 11 chemistry teachers can take advantage of to supplement their lesson plans. From reaction types and solution chemistry to chemical bonding and organic chemistry, there should be something that most teachers can take back and use in their classes immediately. Of course there will also be draws for chemical prizes at the end of the workshop!
Chris Toth commented on Lionel's blog post No More Optional Provincial Exams - Only Five Left"Here is an interesting and thoughtful response to the recent press release from the Ministry regarding provincial exams. I think it might sum up how many of us are feeling.

Chris Toth commented on Lionel's blog post No More Optional Provincial Exams - Only Five Left"I would agree with that.
Perhaps there is more we agree upon than disagree."
Chris Toth commented on Lionel's blog post No More Optional Provincial Exams - Only Five Left"I'm surprised that you apparently consider the chemistry 12 provincial exam to be a test that required students to "spend countless hours memorizing material to be regurgitated". That exam, particularly lately, focussed…"
Chris Toth commented on Lionel's blog post No More Optional Provincial Exams - Only Five Left"Hi Lionel,
All spinning aside, I (and I suspect the majority of my colleagues on the chemistry 12 provincial exam marking committee will likely) consider this a big mistake and a step back to circa 1983. I have…"

The folks at Chem 13 News at the University of Waterloo just sent me a link to the now-completed Periodic Table Project. It's quite something to see all of the tiles submitted by schools across Canada, 20 US states, and 14 other countries together in one table.Here's the link: http://www.chemistry.uwaterloo.ca/iyc/periodic-table-project(St. Thomas More Collegiate contributed element #100 (Fermium) to the project.)Enjoy!See More
Chris Toth replied to Cheri Smith's discussion Paying for Worktexts..."That's pretty much how we do it at our school too Cheri. The same protocol that was in place for the Foundations 10 book should (and I'm sure will) work equally well for the new Chemistry 11 WorkText."
Chris Toth replied to Don Franklin's discussion It's confirmed - Chem 11 WorkTexts are in Schools!"My copy arrived this morning and it looks pretty good folks!

Chris Toth commented on Don Franklin's group CHEMISTRY"The molar mass of SUCROSE is 342 g/mol, but the molar mass of glucose is 180 g/mol."
Chris Toth replied to Don Franklin's discussion MOLE Chapter - FEEDBACK from Test Drive sites in the group CHEMISTRY"Thanks Sandy for all of your great input! That's exactly the sort of thing that we hoped would happen as the "test drive" began. The more comments we receive, the better this resource will end up being and the better the chemistry…"

Session Notes - Investigating Organic Structures and Isomerism Through Molecular Model Building
Here are copies of the Activity, the Teacher Notes, and the Report Sheet handed out during the Institute session. I hope most of you can manage to squeeze in as much organic chemistry as possible into chemistry 11. Have a great academic year!See More

Profile Information

- How did you hear about the BC Science Interactions community?
- From Edvantage Press
- I've been teaching since...
- 1983
- Which science subjects do you teach?
- Science 10, Chemistry 11, Chemistry 12
- Which social networks do you belong to?
- What is your favourite thing about teaching science?
- The daily interaction with the students and the ability to positively affect their lives with the wonder of science.
- The best advice I'd give a new science teacher would be...
- Always make the students your priority and make it evident to them that you're doing it. Try to put yourself in their shoes when you design a lesson and teach it. Take advantage of any help, advice, expertise and resources available from veteran teachers as you begin your career, but try to develop your own style, use your own personal strengths and talents, and be yourself in the classroom. Use humour whenever you can, and pass along your excitement for the subject because it will be contagious.
- I'd like to connect with other members about...
- Senior Chem mostly, but any science teaching issue is fine
