Chemistry A/B

Pre-requisite

Algebra I A/B

Course description

Chemistry A

In this first of two courses that comprise Chemistry; the student will explore the fundamental concepts of chemistry; while engaging in hands-on and virtual lab experiments; and interdisciplinary problem-solving activities.†The student will build on prior knowledge to learn how to model the structure of an atom; analyze the periodic table of elements; identify simple chemical reactions and investigate particulate electrical forces. The course provides many opportunities for the student to apply these concepts to real-world situations.

This course includes a laboratory requirement with live/synchronous laboratory opportunities. Over the course of the semester; students spend approximately 1 - 1.5 hours per week on labratory assignments.†

Chemistry A labratory assignments include:†Chromatography Lab; Modeling Molecules Lab; Classifying Reactions Lab; Stoichiometry Lab

Chemistry B†

In this second of two courses that comprise Chemistry; the student will explore the fundamental concepts of chemistry; while engaging in hands-on and virtual lab experiments; and interdisciplinary problem-solving activities.The student will build on prior knowledge to learn about how energy is transformed in chemical reactions; construct explanations of how energy and matter are related; apply the conversation of mass to calculate and compare quantities of substances in reactions; and develop models of nuclear processes.

This course includes a laboratory requirement with live/synchronous laboratory opportunities. Over the course of the semester; students spend approximately 1 - 1.5 hours per week on labratory assignments.†

†Chemistry B labratory assignments include:††Gas Pressure-Volume Relationship Lab; Titration Lab; Kitchen Table Titration Lab; Heat of Combustion Lab; Rate of Reactions Lab; Properties of Plastics Lab
