While the course conte nt centers on the Ato mic Theory as an explanation for the changes in matter, special emphasis is placed on development of critical thinking skil ls in appl ying the scientific method. Enrollment is based on recommendation of previous sci ence teacher. Strong math skills are necessary to be successful in this class.

MODERN CHEMISTRY SC32 - 1 Credit A traditional laboratory course in general chem istry, emphasizing the study of matter and its changes a s understood within the framework of the Ato mic Theo ry. Full block laborat ory exercises are problem solving i n na ture and req uire student participation in experimental design, d ata reduction, and report preparation. Juniors should note that this course is a pre-requisite for some senior electives.

A.P. CHEMISTRY SC30 - 1 ½ Credits permission.
 * Prerequisite: A grade of B or better in Modern Chemistry and Algebra II and teacher

Advanced Placement Chemistry is designed to be the equivalent of the general chemistry course usually taken during the first year of college. Students will attain a depth of understanding of fundamentals and a reasonable competence in dealing with chemical problems. The course will emphasize the ability to think clearly and express ideas with clarity and logic. Topics such as the structure o f matter, kinetic theory of gases, chemical equilibria, kinetics, and thermodynamics are presented in considerable depth.
