1) First and foremost:
www.bced.gov.bc.ca/exams/
is the ministry of education's
award winning site, containing everything you ever wanted know
about the Ministry of
Education (and a bunch of stuff you'd probably rather not know).
By adding /exams/ to
the end of the address, I have helped you avoid some of the less
desirable stuff. Of
particular interest will be the sections "about grade 12 exams",
"exam specifications and
scoring guides" and ESPECIALLY, "write a practice exam". You can
select any of the
four exams offered each year for the past two years. Fully worked
solutions along with
statistics can also be viewed. Once you've finished your chem, all
other subjects are here!
2) www.quizmebc.ca was
designed by students and staff at Heritage Park Secondary
across the river from us. This site lets you select the unit you
wish to review for. The
"quizwiz" segment lets you do a real time quiz on line with
multiple choice questions
randomly generated from the past two years' examinations.
3) http://www.iannonechem.com
was compiled by Mark Iannone.Mr. Iannone teaches at a school even closer
to us than
Heritage Park; W.J. Mouat!! This site offers daily and review worksheets
with two practice tests
for each unit in thechemistry twelve course. There is also a section collecting
old scholarship questions for
each unit. Answers for all worksheets, quizzes and tests are
provided. The "daily quizzes"
are brief, consisting of ten to fifteen multiple choice questions
addressing each lecture
topic independently. These could be particularly useful for
ongoing review.
4)
http://killarney.vsb.bc.ca/pope/index.htmis the creation of Doug Pope who teaches
in the city of Vancouver at Killarney Secondary. Mr. Pope's "study
guide" section allows
you to download 'outline' or 'full' notes and PLO's (prescribed
learning outcomes, in case
you always wondered - sometimes called ILO's for intended learning
outcomes) for each
unit in the chemistry twelve course. In addition each unit has
links for enrichment and/or
enlightenment. The special aspect of this site is the provincial
exam collection which extends
back to 1994. In addition to the four exams and keys per year, Mr.
Pope has arranged
the exam questions (both MC and written response) by unit.
5) www.webelements.com is
the MOST UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME periodic
table you will ever see anywhere. This thing lets you look at
everything about every
element along with every periodic trend imaginable.
6) Finally, for a little break, but still chemistry related, check
out the Periodic Table of
Comic Books
at
www.uky.edu/Projects/Chemcomics/index.html. Be sure to
enlarge the comics to full page size for maximum enjoyment. Have
fun!!!
7) Are you a KEENER (or a teacher with Keener students) wanting materials for
review and a better understanding of Chemistry? If the answer is yes...go
to Chemreview.net right away. This is an awesome website loaded with mini-lesson
style tutorials on all the core chemistry topics. Great for grade 11, 12 and AP students.
Could easily replace a boring summer assignment from a text book! Recommend the applicable
units on your kids' report cards. What a wonderful replacement for some canned report card comment, eh?
