Chemistry I Honors (QAR)
Chemistry I Honors is a rigorous introductory course in
chemistry. Chemistry I Honors emphasizes lab work in the
study of the following Topics: classification of matter,
atomic structure (to include the modern concept of the
atom), ionic and covalent compounds, chemical reactions,
and stoichiometry (mathematical determination of reaction
amounts). The student will apply algebra concepts in
solving chemistry problems. The student is expected to be
able to make substitutions and isolate unknown algebraic
variables. Upon successful completion of this year long
course the student will have demonstrated the minimum
knowledge and skills to prepare for a first course in
university chemistry. An additional year of chemistry is
suggested for students planning to major in a science field
in college.
Grades: 10, 11, 12
Prerequisite: Biology and Algebra II or concurrent
enrollment.
Year: 1 credit
Supplies: 15 centimeter ruler, black ball point pen, 3-ring
