=Welcome to Mr. Taylor's Chemistry 534 page=

Chemistry is the study of matter, its reactions and changes. A tentative curriculum map is found here:.

Study Guide: Download this... Use it near the end of the year for review!
===The Student Study Guide is a really great resource for preparing for tests and exam. It contains hundreds of old examination style questions with explanations of many of the answers. It is oriented towards the older course content, and was last updated in 2001, but it is still a great help for studying. It is a bit lacking in the area of Acids and Bases and Solubility Products, and contains a bit more about Electrochemistry than needed, but it is still an excellent study guide for the rest of the course. Here is a link to the [|**Student Study Guide**] from LearnQuebec.=== =Mr. Guch's web site: Lots of neat chemistry stuff. [|Chemfiesta]=

=Course outline and Course Notes:=
 * ==Unit 0: Review Section.==
 * Prior to 2010, this section of the course was called module 1. Now it is considered review of grade 10 material and is given no number. It roughly corresponds to the first 33 pages of the textbook, and covers diverse topics, such as atomic models, ions and molecules, valence, and the periodic table
 * Notes in PowerPoint format. Download these if you have a recent version of PowerPoint on your computer. [[file:Chemistry Unit 0 Review.pptx]]
 * Notes in PDF format. Download these if you don't have a recent version of PowerPoint. They lack the animations and take up more space, but should be readable on all computers. [[file:Chemistry Unit 0 Review.pdf]]
 * =Unit 1: Gases and Their Behaviour=
 * Unit 1 concerns the chemistry of gases, both their chemical and physical properties.
 * Gas Notes in PowerPoint format [[file:Chemistry Unit 1 Gases.pptx]]
 * Gas Notes in PDF format.[[file:Chemistry Unit 1 Gases.pdf]]
 * Note that I am in the process of updating these notes, and the ones I present in class may vary slightly from the notes posted here.
 * Chapter 1 Chemical Properties of Gases
 * Chapter 2 Physical Properties of Gases
 * ==Unit 2: Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions==
 * Notes on energy changes are fully updated and compatible with the new textbook
