This course is designed to be a first-year high school chemistry course and
gives the student a rigorous foundation in chemistry, in order to prepare him or
her for a college-level course. The course covers significant figures, units,
classification, the mole concept, stoichiometry, thermochemistry,
thermodynamics, kinetics, acids and bases, redox reactions, solutions, atomic
structure, Lewis structures, molecular geometry, the gas laws, and equilibrium.
Students who take and understand this course will be very well-prepared for a
tough university chemistry course.
Pre-requisite: Algebra 1
Apologia Chemistry 2nd Edition.
Class Time: 2 hours - This is a two-semester course totaling
8 months or 64 hours of class time! Semester 1 runs 14 weeks, Semester 2 runs 18 weeks.
