Honors Chemistry A
Honors Chemistry A is the first of two courses that comprise Honors Chemistry. This course consists of rigorous curriculum;†which meets Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS); that provides students the opportunity to deeply explore concepts; engage in independent research; perform hands-on and virtual lab experiments; and complete interdisciplinary problem-solving activities. Throughout the course; the student will build on prior knowledge to learn how to model the structure of an atom; analyze the periodic table of elements; represent and interpret reactions between atoms and molecules; and perform calculations to solve problems in chemistry. 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.†
Honors Chemistry A labratory assignments include: Chromatography Lab; Modeling Molecules Lab; Classifying Reactions Lab; Stoichiometry Lab
Honors Chemistry B
Description:†Honors Chemistry B is the second of two courses that comprise Honors Chemistry. This course consists of rigorous curriculum;†which meets Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS);††that provides students the opportunity to deeply explore concepts; engage in independent research; perform hands-on and virtual lab experiments; and complete interdisciplinary problem-solving activities. Throughout the course the student will analyze the nature of solids; liquids; and gases; investigate the properties of solutions; describe and calculate the energies of different types of reactions; begin to explore electrochemistry; and continue to examine the fundamental concepts of nuclear and organic chemistry. 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.†
Honors 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
