Chemistry A/B
WELCOME TO Chemistry!
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Chemistry is a hands-on, challenging laboratory course, introducing students to the exciting world of atoms and their interactions. We will study atomic theory, chemical bonding, chemical reactions and equations.
Students will learn what makes up our universe and how matter interacts.
Labs will be incorporated into each unit. Students will need to use their past scientific knowledge to solve problems, analyze and apply scientific data, design experiments, use computers to monitor progress, and present scientific concepts in a public forum.For most students, the language, thinking processes, and abstract nature of chemistry present challenges similar to other skill based courses (e.g. math and language study.) To help students practice their chemistry skills, students will have assigned homework on a regular basis. Help will be available during class and before and after school.
Safety is key in this class. All students are expected to follow lab rules so Chemistry can be a safe and fun exploration of the world of matter.
