Honors Chemistry

The Fine Print

Course Goals

  • To learn the different structure of matter (atomic, molecular, and bonding) and the different states of matter (gases, liquids, solids, solutions)

  • To classify the different common elements—their chemical and physical properties, nomenclature of ions and compounds, and the periodic trends occurring in chemistry

  • To study the relationship that exists in reaction types, such as acids and bases, oxidation-reduction, and precipitation

  • To learn stoichiometry—the mole concept and chemical equations

  • To explain the processes of thermochemistry, including the conservation of energy, calorimetry, specific heat, and enthalpy

  • To respond appropriately to feedback, revising and improving course assignments

  • To actively participate in weekly on-line class discussion forums--sharing, comparing, and providing encouragement to peers

See "How do Biology, Honors Biology, and AP Biology Compare" in our FAQ.
