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.

Essential Standards and Resource Links
Investigation and Experimentation Students demonstrate safety procedures and equipment use.
They plan experiments by controlling variables, and have multiple quantitative means of gathering and analyzing data.
They can use dimensional analysis to setup and solve problems.Atomic Theory Students can describe how key experiments advanced the Atomic Model.
They understand the difference between physical, chemical and nuclear changes, know the meaning of atomic number, atomic mass, quarks, and isotope, and can describe what occurs during alpha, beta, and gamma decay.
They can solve radioactive decay problems involving half-life, and know that some elements only exist in laboratory settings.
Students know Avagadro’s number and can use it with molar mass to convert between mols and kilograms.Electron Orbits Students can synthesize information including orbital types, Pauli’s exclusion principle, quantum electron states, and hybridization to describe and diagram the general characteristics of an element’s electron cloud.
Students understand that electron orbits quantized, and that falling electrons emit unique light spectra.
Students can determine the ionized charge of an element on the basis of full, empty, hybrid, or half full orbitals.
Students can label the regions, groups, and periods of the periodic table and can describe element’s properties in these categories.Electronegativity and Bonds Students understand how the electronegativity scale can be used to determine the type of bond formed between two elements, and can correctly notate and interpret bond types using stick diagrams, Lewis dot diagrams, and VSEPR theory.
Students can describe how elements can be used to form an electrochemical potential (battery).
Students predict how hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces might affect properties such as surface tension.Inorganic Chemistry Students can balance and solve chemical equations.

Students know methods for separating out solutions including chromatography, fractional distillation, and precipitation.
Students can calculate and mix solutions with specific molarities.Acids and Bases Students can calculate a solution’s pH from H+ and OH- concentrations, can define acids and bases according to the Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis acid-base definitions, and can identify a written neutralization reaction.
Students understand weak versus strong acids and bases and buffer solutions, and can perform and analyze titrations.Reaction Rates and Equilibrium Students label reactions as endothermic, exothermic, or spontaneous using Gibbs free energy, and can describe enthalpy changes.
Students understand and can calculate initial reaction rates based on concentration, pressure, and temperature using LeChatelier’s Principle.
Students know the meaning of equilibrium and can calculate equilibrium constants. Students understand the effects of catalysts, enzymes, and inhibitors.Kinetics and Thermodynamics Students have synthesized the Kinematic Theory of Matter including heat, specific heat, thermal energy, temperature, states of matter, phase change, latent heat, rate of diffusion, and boiling and melting point depression.
Students can convert between temperature scales, and can calculate the relationship between thermal energy, heat flow, specific heat, and temperature, and can use a calorimeter.
Students know how to use gas laws to calculate pressure, partial pressure, volume, temperature, and mols of gases.

Have 3 possible batteries designed to share with your lab group. I'd recommend a 'sure thing' easy design, possibly taken directly from the textbook examples, a slightly more ambitious design, and a 'long shot' design like the lithium ion battery I've heard you discussing in class.
Also have 3 potential science fair project topics brainstormed. A good topic is one you're interested in, is specific in scope, and can be answered using available materials quantitatively.
