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.
In this course, students will study of the foundations of chemistry, building on the concepts and scientific thinking developed in middle school science. Students use scientific inquiry and higher-order problem solving as they explore the composition, properties, and changes of matter and their applications through interactive simulations, engineering solutions, and virtual and hands-on experiences. The scientific process is fully used and documented in lab investigations, giving students the skills they need to analyze data and make inferences about natural phenomena. In addition, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts are integrated throughout the course. Through phenomenon-based learning, students will be able to demonstrate a vast understanding of the importance of chemistry in the world, enabling them to apply these principles to their everyday lives and our global society.
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.
