Honors Chemistry-2

Honors Chemistry is designed to present the student with the principles of chemistry in greater depth and detail than in the regular chemistry course. Emphasis is on scientific practices, quantitative relationships, and problem-solving skills. Topics include, but are not limited to, the nature of matter, atomic theory, periodic properties, chemical bonding, chemical reactions & equations, molar relationships, stoichiometry, gases, thermodynamics, acids & bases, rates, and equilibria. The course involves hands-on laboratory activities and addresses the nature of scientific inquiry. This course meets the requirements of the California State Framework for science and the Next Generation Science Standards as well as Common Core Math and English Language Arts standards for science.
