Course Title: Honors Chemistry

Course Description:

Chemistry is the study of matter and its changes. The topics covered include measurement, metrics, graphing, lab safety, atomic structure and theory, chemical and physical changes, states of matter, periodicity, chemical bonding, equations, stoichiometry and acids and bases. This course is recommended for the college bound student. A calculator (TI-34 or equivalent) is required. A lab fee will be assessed at registration as well as a workbook fee.

 

Enduring Understandings:

State Goal 11:

  • Students will understand that the scientific method provides a systematic way to investigate questions and acquire valid and useful information.

State Goal 12:

  • Students will understand that matter and energy's behavior on the microscopic level will explain how matter behaves in the macroscopic world.
  • Students will understand that application of chemical knowledge will foster a greater understanding of societal, ethical and technological issues such as alternative energy sources, chemical weaponry, etc.

State Goal 13:

  • Students will understand that science is the foundation of a process that produces innovation for the progress of humankind.
  • Students will understand that science is not just a body of knowledge. It is a process by which many people continuously develop and refine our knowledge of the world around us.
