Chemistry
Chemistry is the study of the nature and behavior of matter. The general topics of this course include the development of atomic theory, the electronic configuration of atoms, chemical bonding, types of reactions, stoichiometry, the gas laws, and acid-base chemistry. Chemistry is a lab-oriented college preparatory course. Because of the mathematical and quantitative nature of the labs and many topics, students must be enrolled in the highest level of mathematics course available to them.
Elective-5 credits
Prerequisite: Biology, Junior, Highest level of Mathematics available
Chemistry (Honors)
Students in Honors Chemistry will cover the same topics as regular Chemistry, but some will be in greater depth and/or at an accelerated pace. Additional topics may include chemical equilibrium and organic chemistry. Students are expected to be able to work well independently and to eagerly rise to the challenge of more difficult material.
