HONORS CHEMISTRY (11th, 12th Grades) (1 Credit) Prerequisite: Algebra I and Algebra II Co-requisite: Be enrolled in Algebra II
Pre AP Chemistry is a rigorous one-year course designed to provide a broad core of knowledge and an increased understanding of matter and energy as functional components of our environment. The major objectives are: (A) To present the basic principles of chemistry as an intellectual discipline. (B) To facilitate the development of critical and analytical thinking---especially thinking which involves logical and quantitative relationships. (C) To develop scientific literacy through an understanding of the methods of science and the applicable roles of Chemistry in society as they relate to everyday living. (D) To stimulate interest in Chemistry while simultaneously providing adequate preparatory experiences for pursuing further areas of scientific study. ADVANCED PLACEMENT CHEMISTRY (11 th and 12 th Grades) (1 Credit) Prerequisite: Pre-AP Chemistry, Algebra I and Algebra II Co-requisite: Algebra II Advanced Placement Chemistry is a second level chemistry course designed to provide intensified, accelerated, enriched, and creative learning opportunities in chemistry. The major topics of study will include: structure of matter, states of matter, reactions types (acid and base) (oxidation and reduction), reactions stoichiometry, reaction equilibrium, reaction thermodynamics, and organic chemistry. The course will be taught as a college level “general chemistry” course. Students who are successful in the course must take the College Board Advanced Placement Examination.

Chemistry is the study of the composition of matter and its changes under various influences. This laboratory-oriented course will emphasize practical uses of chemistry. It is intended for the non-college-bound student, or the student who will attend college with a major in a non- science field. Students should have a minimum grade of “D” in both Biology and Algebra I.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE (11th, 12th Grades) (1 Credit) Prerequisite: Biology Integrated
This course is designed to provide students with a core of knowledge and improved understanding of our environment ’ s complex natural systems. Insights into various environmental issues/problems that stem from human activities will be emphasized. It is hoped that this increased environmental literacy will improve students ’ thinking and decision-making skills now and in the future and will result in fewer careless mistakes that negatively affect our planet and all of its inhabitants.
