For reference only; see current year course listing for course availability and details.Chemistry
Sections and Teachers
Section 1: Instructor: Christe McMenomy
Starts: September 9, 2010
Ends: June 2, 2011
Monday 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM ET • Thursday 8:00 PM to 9:30 PM ET
Tuition: $450.00
There is more information at the teacher's course Website: Chemistry
Introduction to the concepts of matter, atomic structure, electron configuration, the nature of chemical bonds, aspects of acid-base and precipitation reactions, simple solution preparation, chemical equilibria, ane energy. Additional topics may include organic chemistry, biochemistry, and the characteristics of chemical families.
This course is taught using the Scholars Online Chat software, which allows the teacher to embed graphics, mathematical equations, and movies in the chat session, with complete logging available for the entire year. Audio software is not used to allow students with limited internet access to participate fully, and to encourage precise thinking and writing skills.
Prerequisites
Students should have completed a first year algebra and a year geometry course or their equivalent, and be taking a second year algebra course. They must be able to factor algebraic expressions and be able to solve the quadratic equation. Use of scientific notation and logarithmic expressions will be covered during the course. See the Teacher's website for more details.
Recommended background
A junior high school level course in physical science is highly recommended. Students taking this accerated Chemistry course in preparation for the SAT II and/or AP examinations in chemistry should also have completed ScholarsOnline Natural Science (especially Year II), Biology, or Astronomy, or their equivalent.
Teacher's notes:
This course meets basic requirements for Honors Chemistry. Attendance at both weekly sessions is required for all students. Enrollment in the AP Option, additional chat sessions, and lab work are required for students seeking AP credit and/or lab credit for Chemistry.
