Chemistry I
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 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 investigations of topics with an emphasis on abstract material. Extensive independent work, self-discipline, and commitment to meet rigorous expectations and time lines are required.
