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.
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.
