Description

Students will be challenged and need to have 6-10 hours per week designated to be successful. It is designed as an interactive, 21st century course focusing on Chemistry. Topics include the composition, properties, and changes associated with matter and their applications.

This online course is designed to serve as a foundation for the study of Chemistry. The utilization of scientific inquiry, web 2.0 tools, interactive experiences, higher order thinking, collaborative projects, real world application through labs and a variety of assessments all aid the student in ultimately demonstrating a vast understanding of the importance of Chemistry in the world around them; enabling them to apply these properties to their everyday lives.

Honors Chemistry covers topics typically covered in a high school chemistry course and prepares students for Advanced Placement Chemistry.

Topics include:

• atomic structure
• states of matter
• solutions
• the periodic table
• chemical reactions and transformations
• chemical bonding
• acid and base chemistry
• energetics

Study materials (e-books, Discovery, Education, etc. ...) for FLVS Global courses are INCLUDED in the price of the course.
