FLOWCHART for graduating classes of 2013 and 2014
214 - CHEMISTRY A
Semester • 1/2 credit • Grades 11, 12 • Requirement for graduation • Fee • Chemical Splash Goggles - Included with fee •
Prerequisite for either Chemistry B or Honors Chemistry B.
This is a one-semester course that is required of all students for graduation and a prerequisite for all additional chemistry classes. This course provides a foundation in both the concepts important to chemistry and the laboratory skills necessary to understand scientific developments in chemistry and related sciences. Students will develop skills in measurement classifying matter and its changes, using the periodic table as a tool for exploring basic reaction types, bonding principles, and solution processes. A variety of consumer applications and biological processes will be explored during the course of the semester.
220 - CHEMISTRY B
Semester • 1/2 credit • Fee • Grades 10, 11, 12 • Chemical Splash Goggles - required; not included in fee • Prerequisite: completion Chemistry A and Algebra I • This course or Honors Chemistry B is required for AP Chemistry courses.
This course will further extend the concepts and skills developed in the Chemistry A course. Topics will include bonding in molecules, stoichiometry, balancing reactions and predicting products, extensive periodicity, oxidation reduction topics, and acid-base chemistry and equilibrium processes. Students completing Chemistry A and Chemistry B will have taken the equivalent of a full year of chemistry. Many four-year colleges recommend a full year of chemistry as a requirement for admission.
222H - HONORS CHEMISTRY B
Full Year • 1 credit • • Fee • Grades 10, 11, 12 • Chemical Splash Goggles - required, not included in fee • Prerequisite: Chemistry A (B or better), and Algebra I (B or better).
Honors Chemistry B is designed to challenge the student who has an interest in science and is considering a career in the sciences. The course will consist of two parts: General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. The topics covered in General Chemistry will build on Chemistry A topics and will include: bonding, stoichiometry, predicting products, periodicity, Quantum theory, electrochemistry, acids, bases and buffers, and equilibrium processes. Organic Chemistry will begin with a study of saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons followed with an introduction to the various functional groups. Each functional group will feature studies in naming, classifying, properties and reactions. There will be a special emphasis on biochemistry. Throughout the course, qualitative and quantitative laboratory skills will be explored with a special emphasis on technology.
228AP - ADVANCED PLACEMENT CHEMISTRY
Full Year • 1 credit • Fee • Grades 11, 12 • Chemical Splash Goggles - required, but not included in fee • Prerequisite: Chemistry B (A- or better) or Honors Chemistry B (B or better) and Algebra II (B or better). AP exam and semester exam required for weighted grade.
Any of the following courses are excellent support courses and are recommended either previous or concurrent to taking Advanced Placement Chemistry: Honors Anatomy/Physiology, Honors Genetics, or any Physics course. This course is the equivalent of the college freshman chemistry course following curriculum as prescribed by the AP Board. This course is an excellent preparation for premedical, nursing, veterinarian, industrial hygienist, and engineering related careers. Students are admitted to the course only if they meet the above prerequisites. Students must be able to work independently. Further development of individual laboratory skills introduced in previous courses will be emphasized. Additional time for lab work may be required. Please see instructor for details. Advanced Placement courses are demanding and require daily homework. The class concludes with a college level exam, prepared by the CollegeBoard, which, if passed, may result in college credit.
