Course Objectives & Syllabus
Objectives: Chemistry is a study to engage students how to make sense to explain and understand the natural world to explore its richness with enthusiasm. By the end of the course this year, students will be able to:
Identify and use appropriate units of measurement and the sources and implications of uncertainty in measurements.
Develop a model to illustrate that the release or absorption of energy from a chemical reaction system depends upon the changes in total bond energy
Demonstrate the ability to determine the composition of any atom, ion, or isotope.
Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms.
Explain and do calculations with the mole.
Sample Student Work
Metals, Metalloids and Nonmetals Lab
Students were asked to determine the type of element for unknown substances by observing their physical properties then categorizing by their common traits and how these traits determine their category.
PERIODIC TRENDS INVESTIGATION
Students were asked investigate the relationship between periodicity and certain chemical properties such as solubility and reactivity.
Lab Simulations & Links
70 plus videos of lab experiments and step by step math tutorials.
Virtual labs for chemistry and other topics.
Simulations for chemistry, physics, biology and more.
Labster Simulations
Virtual reality simulations for chemistry & biology.
Breakout/Escape Rooms
Breakoutedu.com
Breakout rooms through a website to explore and review topics through different types of puzzles that need to be solved before you can go to the next puzzle/room.
