Chemistry Honors Online

This rigorous two-semester course provides students with an engaging honors-level curriculum that emphasizes mathematical problem solving and practical applications of chemistry. Topics are examined in greater detail than general chemistry in order to prepare students for college-level coursework. Course components include atomic theory and structure, chemical bonding, states and changes of matter, chemical and redox reactions, stoichiometry, the gas laws, solutions, acids and bases, and nuclear and organic chemistry. Throughout the course, students participate in a variety of interactive and hands-on laboratory activities that enhance concept knowledge and develop scientific process skills, including scientific research and technical writing.

•  Throughout the course, you will meet the following goals:
• Describe the composition, properties, and types of matter.
• Summarize the evolution of the atomic theory and the structure of an atom.
• Examine the relationships among the elements on the periodic table.
• Describe chemical reactions and types of chemical bonds.
• Explain the relationship between chemistry and thermodynamics.
• Recognize the interdependence of organisms and organic chemistry.
• Explore nuclear chemistry and its applications.
