Course Description/Outline/Objectives: 

This class will be an in-depth dive into the incredible world of Chemistry, with a variety of labs built in to illustrate the concepts. Labs will include everything from chemical properties of making ice cream to advanced chemistry demonstrations (labs are added in that are substantially more advanced than what is included in the book). I will be supplementing the course with worksheets to help ensure the student knows and understands the key concepts. This curriculum provides a great foundation for college level study, and with the worksheets will be a very robust curriculum that can help students to love the field of Chemistry and is thoroughly college-preparatory in scope.

There will be a quiz taken every other week at home via Schoology. Students will also be given access to an online resource with video supplements for the lessons. 

Theoretical Chemistry Route: Parents may choose to have students go a more “theoretical chemistry” route, bypassing some of the more math-intensive portions of the material. The student will still have to read the chapters, but will not have to do the review questions and chapter tests, and instead will watch videos through Study.com and answer short quizzes. Parents and students may choose to move from the regular track to the theoretical route at the beginning of the year or at any point during the course.

Expected Weekly Time Commitment for Homework: 5+ hours per week.
