| Course Description |
|
Prerequisite: Grade of B or better in Chemistry I or Honors Chemistry I;
Physics I or Honors Physics I or concurrent enrollment This laboratory-oriented course explores the concepts normally taught in a collegiate general chemistry course. The laboratory investigations are used to initiate and reinforce concepts in various topics in chemistry. These include acid-base chemistry, thermodynamics, molecular geometry, organic chemistry, electrochemistry, stoichiometry, and kinetics. This course follows the College Board Advanced Placement Syllabus and students are strongly encouraged to take the national College Board exam in May. Please see the section at the beginning of this guide concerning AP exams. Formal study of new concepts end at spring break. Students will prepare for the advanced placement examination from spring break until early May. Students will work on special projects for the remainder of the year. Students planning careers in medicine, engineering, environmental sciences, physics, or chemistry should carefully consider the advantages of this course. Students completing this course have a competitive advantage in the general chemistry college course required in these majors. |
