Course Description
Academic Year 2019-2020 • Grade 11 and above • Science Sequence
For reference only; see current year course listing for course availability and details.Honors Chemistry
Sections and Teachers
Section 1: Instructor: Christe McMenomy
Starts: September 3, 2019
Ends: June 8, 2020
Monday 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM ET • Wednesday 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM ET
Tuition: $550.00
There is more information at the teacher's course Website: Honors Chemistry
Honors Chemistry builds on concepts of matter and chemical reactions acquired in junior high or basic chemistry by introducing more advanced methods of chemical analysis and more detailed models of atomic structure, electron configurations, and chemical bonds. Using these tools, we explore aspects of acid-base and precipitation reactions, simple solution preparation, chemical equilibria, and energy. We then look at the factors affection reaction rates, especially for reactions in solutions and electric cells. Additional topics may include environmental chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and the characteristics of chemical families, depending on student interest.
REQUIRED LAB WORK: Students must complete three safety checkout labs, then design, plan, and carry out eight labs for course credit.
This course may be combined with the AP Chemistry Option, which has its own requirements. Successful completion of BOTH Honors Chemistry and the AP Option option are required for AP Chemistry credit.
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 without a basic chemistry course should also have completed either ScholarsOnline Natural Science Year II, Biology, or Astronomy, or their equivalent.
Teacher's notes:
Attendance at two weekly sessions is required for all students. These sessions will cover textbook materials and homework assignments; some sessions will also include lab preparation and review.
Textbooks and Materials
This item is required:
Chemistry and Chemical Reactivity - Hardcover [Edition or Version: 9], Authors: John C. Kotz, Paul M. GTreichel, John Townsend, David Treichel
ISBN: 1133949649
Publisher's website: Chemistry and Chemical Reactivity - Hardcover
Best sources: Scholars Online Bookstore
Other information: The hardcover, softcover, and eBook versions of the ninth edition include all materials required for the course. This edition has been out for several years and should be widely available used. Because the HYDRID edition does not include homework problems and does require additional fees for OWL access, we do not recommend it for this course. No OWL access will be required for the Core Chemistry course or the AP Option.
