Accelerated Chemistry

NOTE: The science department offers three different introductory chemistry courses. Students must take a course in chemistry and can choose from:  Basic Chemistry (quarter long), General Chemistry (two quarters long), or Accelerated Chemistry (two quarters long).  Please read the course descriptions carefully, or see your current science teacher for a recommendation.

Accelerated Chemistry is a math-oriented laboratory course in chemistry. Theoretical, practical, and technical areas of chemistry are studied. This course provides the background in chemistry for those students who anticipate going to college. It is also appropriate for students going into the technical programs that require background in chemistry. Accelerated Chemistry is NOT limited to just the students who plan to take the AP (Advanced Placement) Chemistry course.
