Course Name: Chemistry
Credit: 1
Grade Placement: 10, 11, 12

Required Prerequisite(s): Algebra I plus Biology or IPC

What's Next: Physics, AP Biology, OnRamps Biology, AP Chemistry, or AP Environmental Science

Chemistry is the study of the structure, composition, and behavior of matter. Topics covered in this course will include development of the Periodic Table, atomic theory, atomic bonding, matter in chemical substance and reactions, kinetic molecular theory & ideal gases, behavior of solutions, acids & bases, energy changes, and nuclear chemistry.Chemistry is laboratory–oriented and student investigations emphasize asking questions and identifying problems, gathering and analyzing data, developing and communicating conclusions, and making informed decisions using critical thinking and scientific problem solving. All Chemistry students will conduct research to learn the aspects of the scientific research process.

Required Prerequisite(s): Biology and Chemistry

What's Next: NONE

AP Chemistry is a second year, two–hour course designed to be the equivalent of an introductory college–level course. The major units of study include: Atomic Structure and Properties, Molecular and Ionic Compound Structure and Properties, Intermolecular Forces and Properties, Chemical Reactions, Kinetics, Thermodynamics, Equilibrium, Acids and Bases, and Application of Thermodynamics.Laboratory investigation is an integral part of the course. This course prepares students to take the Chemistry Advanced Placement exam.
