Honors Chemistry
Chemistry is the study of matter – what stuff is made of, and how stuff turns into other stuff. We will begin with an investigation of water – perhaps the most familiar and essential chemical compound on Earth. We will explore the nature of atoms and molecules in everything from the DNA in our bodies to the stars in the universe. Throughout the year we will explore how we use our knowledge of chemistry to improve our lives. As you learn the chemistry content you will also be building your study skills, which will help you in any class or independent study you choose to take. This course fulfills standard college preparatory requirements.
