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.
Watch things change and become something new! In this course, you will study matter and energy, and their interactions in chemical and physical changes. You will use scientific inquiry and problem-solving skills to explore the composition, properties, and changes of matter and their applications through interactive simulations, engineering solutions, and virtual and hands-on experiences. In addition, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts are integrated throughout the course. Through phenomenon-based learning, you will be able to demonstrate a vast understanding of the importance of chemistry in the world and apply these principles to your everyday life and in your 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.
