This course includes the state-mandated unit on Family Life Education. Parents may opt their students out of any topic included in this unit. Students not studying the Family Life Education unit will be provided with alternative instruction. An independent project in scientific research is required. Geometry Chemistry is designed to enable students to acquire an understanding of how chemical theory is developed and how a chemist thinks and works.
Students investigate the composition, properties, and reactions of matter.
The approach is inductive and mathematical, as well as conceptual. Laboratory experiments and subsequent mathematical analysis are integral components of the course. Advanced Algebra GT Chemistry 1 GT utilizes an inductive approach to the teaching of chemistry. By performing a carefully planned sequence of laboratory experiments, students obtain evidence to support the development of the major concepts of modern chemistry. The history and philosophy of science are also stressed throughout the course.
