An exhilarating, college-preparatory, lab science, this class covers fundamental aspects of chemistry such as the classification of matter, atomic structure, spectroscopy, chemical bonding, molecular geometry, physical change, chemical change, stoichiometry, solutions, ideal gases, acid/base chemistry, reduction/oxidation reactions, thermochemistry, thermodynamics, kinetics, and chemical equilibrium. Weaving together concepts and their mathematical applications, the course teaches students how to think as a chemist so they can analyze the major changes that occur in matter. Our class time will focus on introduction to concepts, labs per curriculum, and alternative/ supplemental labs and demonstrations. Weekly homework assignments require 4-8 hours to complete. Tests are assigned to be completed outside of class, so parents can determine the method of test-taking. Prerequisite: Algebra I
