3rd and 4th periods
Chemistry I will be the most rigorous science your child has taken so far. The outcome of the course will depend heavily on preparation for exams, and understanding of concepts. There is very little rote memorization, meaning that a working knowledge of concepts and the ability to make connections is fundamental to making an "A" in the class. Paying attention in class is extremely important, and students should try not to miss class.
The degree of success in Chemistry I is usually a good indicator of how well a student will be able to navigate the Biotech Magnet curriculum.
