CHEMISTRY HONORS

Credits: 5

 This course differs completely from the non­honors course in the scope, pace and level of difficulty. Chemistry investigates matter and energy and ways in which these two quantities interact. Over a course of study in chemistry, students should be able to recognize how both matter and energy are both quantified (measured) and qualified (observed) in a variety of contexts. This course also makes connections between matter and the energy transformations  and includes the connection to nuclear chemistry. This course exposes students to problem­solving situations that are developed through class discussions, demonstrations, and lab activities. Students will demonstrate understanding through performance expectations. Lab experiences complement the core concepts
