Question 1

What will I learn in Chemistry?

Accepted Answer

This course is designed to explore the study of matter and its interactions through laboratory investigations, scientific discussions, and phenomena based instruction. Students will apply science and engineering practices and crosscutting concepts of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) to explain the structure, function and interactions of matter, at the macroscopic and the molecular-atomic levels. Students are expected to develop an understanding of chemical reactions, including rates of reactions and energy changes in terms of collisions of molecules, and the rearrangements of atoms as they make sense of their physical world through real world connections. Emphasis is placed on important biological and geophysical phenomena that support student explanations of the formation and abundance of elements, chemical bonding, radioactivity, and the release of energy. Students will apply an understanding of the process of optimization in engineering design to chemical reaction systems. This course will also involve students developing solutions to authentic problembased physical science issues and investigations, while exploring career opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). 430073 Co- Teach 430083 Intensive - This course is designed to be a small class environment for special education students enrolled in a designated special education program. 420193 - Honors - Prerequisites Honors Biology 430293 Pre-Diploma Program 430393 Science and Technology Honors
