Regents Chemistry is designed to introduce the student to a wide range of chemical applications. Chemistry is a study of matter, its composition, and the changes that matter can undergo. The course is structured to look at the fundamental principles of chemistry, and at the completion of the course, you should have a working knowledge of the basic principles. Topics that will be covered include: matter and energy, atomic structure, chemical bonding, the periodic table, stoichiometry, kinetics and equilibrium, acids and bases, reduction/oxidation, organic chemistry, and modern chemical applications. Each unit throughout the course will build on previous chapters. It is a full year course primarily for juniors who have had or are currently taking Algebra II. The class meets daily with an extra period every other day for laboratory work. The course culminates with the Chemistry Regents exam, and students must have successfully completed 1200 minutes of hands-on laboratory exercises in order to be eligible for the exam.
