Course description

Honors Chemistry A

Description: In this first of two courses that comprise Honors 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 laboratory assignments.†

Honors Chemistry A laboratory assignments include: Solutions; Acids and Bases Lab; Gases Lab; Electrical Forces Lab

Honors Chemistry B

Description: In this second of two courses that comprise Honors 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 laboratory assignments.†

Honors Chemistry B laboratory assignments include: Reaction rates Lab; Ecology Chemistry Lab
