Integrated Chemistry - Physics (Lab) - 3108 Grades 11-12 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 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 I [HD] (Lab) - 3064H Grades 11-12 Prerequisite(s): B or better in Algebra I and Biology I HD Designed for students planning to study science or engineering in college, this course presents the same topics as Chemistry I, but some areas will be covered in more depth and at a faster pace so additional topics can be included. Expectations of and responsibilities placed on students will be at a higher level than those in the regular course.
Chemistry, Advanced Placement (Lab) - 3060 Grades 11-12 Prerequisite(s): Chemistry I HD and Algebra II (or concurrent) 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 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.
