This course satisfies the requirements for a general or academic science. It meets the entrance requirements for further academic or technical training. This Provincial Level course satisfies the requirements for the academic stream, includes some qualitative laboratory work, and a greater mathematical treatment of chemical concepts. Chemistry is an essential part of the everyday world. A knowledge and understanding of its principles is the base on which applications in health, the environment, and industrial developments are founded. The chemistry courses will foster understanding of science as a vital part of a sustainable society and provide a basis for further academic and career/vocational training.
