Chemistry I (193001)
|
|
Course Description
|
Chemistry I meets the Maryland State Content Standards for Chemistry.
This course is designed for college-bound students. Students will cover
principal chemistry concepts such as physical and chemical properties of matter,
energy, chemical nomenclature, mole relationships, chemical equations,
stoichiometry, gas laws, atomic theory, nuclear chemistry, periodicity, bonding,
solutions, and acid-base theory. Students will be expected to use algebra and
graphing techniques in problem-solving applications. Critical thinking and
communication skills will be utilized in student-directed laboratory and
classroom experiences. Laboratory experiences are an integral part of this
curriculum. Students will prepare formal laboratory reports in order to
promote a deeper understanding of concepts covered.
Chemistry I includes in-depth investigation of topics with an emphasis
abstract material. Extensive independent work, self-discipline and commitment to
meet rigorous expectations and time lines are required. A strong Algebra
background and a "B" average in the student's previous science course(s) are
required for entrance into Chemistry I.
Prerequisite:
Algebra I and Introduction to Chemistry/Physics or Algebra-Based Physics
Grades 10 - 12
