I’m Mr. Felipe Vega, a high school chemistry teacher at Rancho Mirage High School in Rancho Mirage, CA (Room 663). I teach Chemistry Honors, Chemistry CP, and Chemistry for CAFE students (Culinary Arts). This website gives parents and students a clear hub for class info, policies, and where to find assignments.
I graduated from UC Irvine with a B.S. in Biological Sciences and my teaching credential. I have been in the Coachella Valley and Palm Springs Unified School District my entire life.
This is a college preparatory Chemistry course fulfilling one of the A-G requirements for high
school graduation and college readiness. Chemistry is developed around Next Generation
Science Standards to provide necessary content and skills for further science courses like
Anatomy/Physiology and Physics. We will learn Chemistry through inquiry and hands-on based instruction throughout the year. These are the topics we plan to cover this year:
Unit 0: Scientific Ideas
Unit 1: Atoms and Elements
Unit 2: Molecules and Bonding
Unit 3: Chemical Reactions
Unit 4: Heat and Energy
Unit 5: Chemistry in the Biosphere
Unit 6: Nuclear Chemistry
