Students will be involved in many hands-on activities. Mastery of the topics will be demonstrated by a combination of paper and pencil tests and lab projects. This course will help students gain an understanding and respect for the environment around them. This course includes a combination of traditional and modern approaches to chemistry with the focus on preparing students for college-level material. Chemical theories are emphasized but students will also get extensive laboratory experience.
Chemistry is an important course for all college bound students.
Physics is an important course for all college-bound students. This one semester course will be a continuation of Chemistry. It will emphasize theory but will also include extensive hands on laboratory work. We will cover various bonding theories and some introductory work in organic chemistry, thermodynamics and electrochemistry, cumulating with a 3 week independent study. This one semester course will be a continuation of Physics.
