Chemistry

Our Chemistry courses use an imaginative, multimedia, hands-on approach to teaching students the essentials of chemistry. Traditional quizzes and exams are integrated with student self-checks, projects, and virtual lab activities to facilitate student learning of key concepts and the development of critical scientific thinking.

Chemistry 1A
In Chemistry 1A students are immersed in basic chemistry concepts as they join a group of scientists looking for a new planet on which to live. On this journey, students gain information about matter, the structure of atoms and molecules, elements, and compounds, the periodic table, chemical reactions, and the behavior of gases. They learn how to balance equations, calculate empirical and molecular formulas, and determine molar mass.

Chemistry 1B
Chemistry 1B is designed to be the second semester of a high school chemistry course. The content of chemistry is taught through challenging and imaginative units centered on typical life-essential scenarios. The five units teach colligative properties, kinetics and equilibrium, acids and bases, oxidation and reduction formulas, and organic chemistry.
