Chemistry

This online course offers a comprehensive introduction to high school chemistry, ideal for students in grades 10-12. Over the course of a year, students explore the properties of and interactions between various forms of matter, with a focus on understanding the atomic structure of elements and its influence on their chemical and physical properties. Key topics include chemical reactions, gas laws, acids and bases, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry. The course is designed to incorporate hands-on learning through home-based experiments. Prerequisites include successful completion of Algebra 1 and either Physics 1 or a specific chemistry readiness course.

Enrollment involves a time commitment of approximately 3-5 hours per week for reading assignments, problem sets, and lab work. The course will be using specific chemistry textbooks and materials for the 2024-2025 academic year.
