Organic Chemistry

After the successful completion of AP Chemistry, students may sign up for this elective science course.  Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-based chemicals and is a requirement in college for anyone wanting to study medicine, health science, chemistry, etc.  This elective course will serve as an introduction to organic chemistry, giving students a basic level of understanding to take with them into college.  Classes will consist of lecture, lab, group work, hands-on modeling of molecules, guest speakers and at least one field trip.  This course is an elective credit and does not count as a science credit for graduation.
