Integrated Chemistry - Physics (Lab) - 3108
Grades 11-12
Two Trimesters
Prerequisite(s): Algebra I and Biology
I
Integrated Chemistry-Physics is a
laboratory-based course in which students explore fundamental chemistry and
physics principles. Students enrolled in this course examine, through the
process of scientific inquiry, the structure and properties of matter,
chemical reactions, forces, motion, and the interactions between energy and
matter. Working in a laboratory environment, students investigate the basics
of chemistry and physics in solving real-world problems that may have
personal or social consequences beyond the classroom.
Chemistry I (Lab) - 3064
Grades 10-12
Two Trimesters
Prerequisite(s): Algebra I and Biology
I
Chemistry 1 is a course based on
regular laboratory investigations of matter, chemical reactions, and the role
of energy in those reactions. Students in Chemistry I compare, contrast, and
synthesize useful models of the structure and properties of matter and the
mechanisms of its interactions. In addition, students enrolled in this course
are expected to: (1) gain an understanding of the history of chemistry, (2)
explore the uses of chemistry in various careers, (3) investigate chemical
equations and problems related to personal needs and societal issues, and (4)
learn and practice laboratory safety.

Chemistry, Advanced Placement
(Lab) - 3060
Grades 11-12
Three Trimesters
Prerequisite(s): Chemistry I and
Algebra II
This is an intensification of
first-year chemistry dealing specifically with mathematical explanations of
basic chemical theory. Topics include: (1) structure of matter—atomic
theory and structure, chemical bonding, molecular models, nuclear chemistry:
(2) states of matter—gases, liquids and solids, solutions; (3)
reactions—reaction types, stoichiometry, equilibrium, kinetics, and
thermodynamics. This course follows College Board entrance guidelines for
Advanced Placement Chemistry and is designed for juniors who received an A or
B in Chemistry.
Advanced Science, Special Topics [Organic Chemistry] (Lab)
– 3092
Grade 11-12
One Trimester
Prerequisite(s): B or better in
Chemistry I
Organic chemistry will offer an
extensive look at the special nature of carbon chemistry. Emphasis will be
placed on structure, functional groups, and nomenclature, as well as some
important classes of organic reactions. Students enrolled in this course
engage in an in-depth study of the application of science concepts,
principles, and unifying themes that are unique to organic chemistry.
Extensive lab work will be a primary aspect of this course. Students enrolled
in this course will complete an end-of-course project and presentation
integrating knowledge, skills, and concepts from the course of study.
