CLOSED Chemistry & Lab

Description

CLOSED – Class Full

Science / Grades 10-12 / Periods 2 AND 3 / SG 2 and SG 3 / 1T

1st Trimester

Exploring Creation with Chemistry, 2nd edition In order to be able to understand this text, the student needs to have completed Algebra I. This course is designed to be a first-year high school chemistry course and gives the student a rigorous foundation in chemistry, in order to prepare them for a college-level course. The 1^st Trimester covers measurements and units, Calorimetry, classifying matter and compounds, the Kinetic Theory and the Mole Concept.  There is a required laboratory time associated with this class, during which we will perform experiments from the text and MicroChem Labs.  There will be two to four hours of homework per week, to include reading from the text and other sources, answering questions from the text, and analysis of laboratory work done in the classroom.  Grades will be based on lab work, homework assignments and chapter tests.  Students will need internet access for reading assignments, research, homework and tests. Students will need a 3-ring binder for handouts and lab work.  Students who take and understand this course will be very well-prepared for a tough university chemistry course.

2nd Trimester

Exploring Creation with Chemistry, 2nd edition In order to be able to understand this text, the student needs to have completed Algebra I. This course is designed to be a first-year high school chemistry course and gives the student a rigorous foundation in chemistry, in order to prepare them for a college-level course. The 2^nd Trimester covers stoichiometry, atomic structures, molecular structures, the Lewis structure of atoms, covalent bonds, and acid/base chemistry.  There is a required laboratory time associated with this class, during which we will perform experiments from the text and MicroChem Labs.  There will be two to four hours of homework per week, to include reading from the text and other sources, answering questions from the text, and analysis of laboratory work done in the classroom.  Grades will be based on lab work, homework assignments and chapter tests.  Students will need internet access for reading assignments, research, homework and tests. Tests will be given during lab time.  Students will need a 3-ring binder for handouts and lab work.  Students who take and understand this course will be very well-prepared for a tough university chemistry course.

3rd Trimester

Exploring Creation with Chemistry, 2nd edition In order to be able to understand this text, the student needs to have completed Algebra I. This course is designed to be a first-year high school chemistry course and gives the student a rigorous foundation in chemistry, in order to prepare them for a college-level course. The 3^rd Trimester covers the Ideal Gas Law, thermodynamics, entropy, kinetics, catalysts, chemical equilibrium, LeChatelier’s principle and oxidation/reduction reactions.  There is a required laboratory time associated with this class, during which we will perform experiments from the text and MicroChem Labs.  There will be two to four hours of homework per week, to include reading from the text and other sources, answering questions from the text, and analysis of laboratory work done in the classroom.  Grades will be based on lab work, homework assignments and chapter tests.  Students will need internet access for reading assignments, research, homework and tests. Tests will be given during lab time.  Students will need a 3-ring binder for handouts and lab work.  Students who take and understand this course will be very well-prepared for a tough university chemistry course.
