Chemistry
Welcome
Listed below are our essential standards, which also provide a good general idea of the course sequence. The syllabus and other main documents are attached. You'll also find links to the unit pages, where you can download handouts, lab write-up templates, powerpoints, and other media used in class.
Course Description
Prerequisite: Conceptual Physics, Algebra I
Co-requisite: Algebra II
Chemistry is the second high school laboratory science course, and is required of all students for graduation. It is a required prerequisite for AP Biology. Exponential and logarithmic functions will be used and taught as needed. It will include a substantial hands-on laboratory component where critical thinking and problems solving skills will be at the forefront of successful lab completion.
The course will move at a fast pace in order to cover a large breadth of topics.

Write-up on the battery lab due Friday. For full credit, include:
*What you tried.
*Why you tried it (recommended analysis is provided on the handout you received at the beginning of the lab).
*The engineering challenges you identified.
*The ways in which you overcame those challenges, including any research you did (again, some suggested research topics can be found on the handout).
*A balanced chemical equation for your battery including the electrolyte(s).
*Half-reactions, and identification of red/ox and cathode/anode of the electrodes.
*Your calculated electrochemical potential vs. your actual voltage, and a brief explanation of the discrepancy.
Leave space to add on:
*How your battery stacked up compared to the commercial battery and classmates' competitions, and what design features you might include in retrospect.
Good write-ups will receive the maximum grade based on your battery's points. Incomplete or rudimentary write-ups will receive a lower grade. No write-up receives an incomplete regardless of your team's performance.

Continue planning and researching around the battery engineering challenge. Consider splitting up the six suggested research topics among your group so that everyone covers two, and discussing them when you reconvene. Also consider researching questions introduced during the opening activity, writing your half-reactions and reactions, and gathering any materials not available to you in class.
By this Wednesday, you should be ready to run a preliminary build and test.
