Course Descriptions

 

In Chemistry each student will learn how to use manipulative laboratory materials and equipment; demonstrate basic chemistry techniques,  practice safe disposal of chemicals and learn about chemical reactions, rates, and processes.  Each student will learn about measuring, and using relationships to standards.

 Students will draw logical inferences, predict outcomes, and form generalized statements from lab experience.  Finally, the student will apply science to daily life through analyzing the impact of chemistry research and technological advancement on the quality of life, society and the environment.

STUDENT EXPECTATIONS
