Chemistry
PREREQUISITES: Algebra 1
LENGTH: 2 Trimesters
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Chemistry is the science dealing with the structure and composition of substances, the changes in their composition and the mechanisms by which these changes occur. The course will deal with concepts in the organization of chemistry, such as the atomic theory (structure and properties of atoms, compounds they form, and properties of these compounds), chemical formulas and equations, and phases of matter. The course then builds on these learned concepts as we investigate chemical reactions, stoichiometry, and specific topics such as physical and nuclear chemistry. Dynamic labs, demonstrations, and classroom discussions are used in the curriculum.
MATERIALS:
1. Scientific calculator
2. 3-ring binder
