Honors Chemistry

In Honors Chemistry, students will explore what matter is made of, how it behaves, and how substances change during chemical reactions. Throughout the course, students will study atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical bonding, chemical quantities, reactions, stoichiometry, thermochemistry, gases, reaction rates, equilibrium, acids and bases, and ocean acidification. Students will use models, mathematical reasoning, laboratory investigations, and projects to connect chemistry concepts to real-world systems and problems. By the end of the course, students will be able to explain chemical patterns, analyze data, solve chemistry problems, and apply their learning to environmental and everyday situations.
