1To ensure a thorough and comprehensibletreatment of all content and processexpectations in the SCH4U curriculum

• Complex chemistry concepts are presented in a clear,understandable fashion

• Important concepts, such as thermodynamics, are treated ingreater depth than specified in the curriculum

2To equip students with the independentlearning, problem solving and research skillsessential for success in post-secondary studies

• Self-contained and self-explanatory lessons

• A variety of self-evaluation and self-checking strategies

• A mature design similar to what students will experience withfirst year university/college texts

• The placement of lab activities at the end of chaptersparallels the formal separation of theory and labs in universitycourses

• Extension and web link strategies provide opportunities tohone individual research and study skills
