Honors Chemistry
Course Description
This course provides an in depth investigation of the evidence supporting the modern model of atomic structure, bonding, molar ratios, kinetic theory and stoichiometry. Skills in the careful measurement of matter and energy before, during and after reactions are developed. Relationships involving mass, volume
and energy are investigated. Skill development emphasis is placed on quantitative reasoning used when determining molecular weight, percentage composition, molar ratios, volumes and masses of reacting substances. Honors science students participate in at least one approved science related extracurricular
competition or activity (Examples: Science Fair or any Science Team Competition). Course admission requires the recommendation of the previous science teacher and current enrollment in geometry (or having completed geometry).
Note: Juniors may take AP Chemistry if they have completed Honors Chemistry.
