Accelerated Chemistry

In this course the focus will be on the abstract and mathematical foundation of chemistry. Chemistry is a college-preparatory course. It is a challenging elective course designed as an introduction to the world of chemistry. This course is highly recommended to the college-bound or technical school student. This course provides excellent mathematical preparation for college chemistry, AP Chemistry or other advanced science courses. Emphasis is placed on the use of chemical language and the ability to manipulate data. Early units familiarize students with gas properties and the gas laws, chemical experimentation, lab safety, and the language of chemistry. Later units delve into atomic theory, stoichiometry, periodicity and the periodic table, the electromagnetic spectrum and descriptive chemistry.
