Chemistry is a lab-oriented course in which students will develop their critical thinking and problem solving skills through the exploration of matter, energy, and chemical change. Frequently working together, students will make predictions, conduct investigations, and use models to explain observations and the surrounding world. Throughout the course, students will also focus on the analysis of data, both descriptive and mathematical. Completion of this course will prepare students for advanced science courses, including Advanced Placement (AP) Chemistry.
Chemistry Honors parallels the core chemistry curriculum with greater rigor in skills and content. A course that receives an honors designation has expectations for students that are measurably broader, deeper, and/or more complex in comparison to its standard course.
Throughout this course, we will work to answer the following essential questions –
