Chemistry 12

Chemistry 12 builds on the knowledge gained in Chemistry 11 to provide a deeper understanding of the chemical processes happening all around us. The topics covered in this course include reaction rates, chemical systems and equilibrium, and electrochemistry. Chemistry 12 will help prepare students for studying science, engineering, medicine, technology and other subjects that are offered at the post-secondary level. In this course, students will further develop their problem solving and laboratory skills and their ability to communicate scientific information. Students will also learn about real-life applications of chemistry and some of the cutting-edge research that chemists are working on today!

Your Teacher – Debbie Le

Debbie is an Edmontonian-turned-Vancouverite studying chemistry at UBC. After completing her undergraduate degree in chemistry and biology, Debbie enrolled in the PhD program to research Supramolecular Chemistry (basically molecular Lego). Debbie tutors math as well as the sciences, and one of her favourite things to do is to bring science into everyday life. Did you know that the colour of hydrangea flowers can tell you about the acidity of your soil? When not teaching or in school, Debbie can be found sewing, baking, learning the ukulele, or most likely hugging her cat.
