An end product is an exhibition of research findings. Research is conducted under the supervision of a science faculty member. This full-year elective is a systematic review of chemistry designed for the student with a strong background who needs a review and some additional practice problem solving. It should be of interest to students who want to improve their preparation for college chemistry as well as those who desire advanced placement. Topics covered include- gas laws and stoichiometry and chemical reactions and atomic theory, structure and bonding, equilibrium, acids and bases, thermodynamics, kinetics and electrochemistry.
Class meets three times per week with the third meeting a lab.
This full-year elective an which meets four times per week and is a systematic review of chemistry designed for the student whose background in chemistry is generally good but needs some additional instruction. It should be of interest to students who want to improve their preparation for college chemistry as well as those who desire advanced placement. Topics covered include- gas laws and stoichiometry, chemical reactions, atomic theory and structure and bonding, equilibrium, acids and bases, thermodynamics and kinetics and electrochemistry. This course is a laboratory-focused study of organic chemistry. The remaining six mods are used to carry out the necessary lab work.
