Chemistry 15 Students

This course will serve as an introduction to principles of modern chemistry presented in a challenging, discussion-oriented atmosphere. There will be daily laboratory experiments and classroom assignments to emphasize the concepts discussed. These will include a written component to show that the student can apply the concepts to actual situations. The major topics will include characteristics of the periodic table, types of chemical bonding, naming of compounds, intermolecular forces, predicting, writing and balancing chemical reactions, numerical methods in chemistry (scientific notation, significant figures and conversions), and quantitative relationships between substances within a chemical reaction (stoichiometry). Other topics that will be introduced include gas, liquid, and solid behavior (gas laws and colligative properties); energy changes (thermo chemistry); qualitative analysis; equilibrium; rates of chemical reactions (kinetics); basic nuclear chemistry and introduction to organic chemistry. NOTE: This course may be eligible for articulated college credit at Northwestern State University. For more information, see page 6 of the brochure.

Requirements: See Math or Science scores on page 9. Students must have completed Algebra 1 and Physical Science in school or at ADVANCE. There is an additional $20 lab fee for this course that must be included with the final payment.
