CHEMISTRY 431 (H) Grades: 10 -12 Grouping: Homogeneous Prerequisite: Algebra II (H) (concurrently) or by Recommendation of the Department Chemistry (H) is offered to qualified students with the recommendation of the Science Department. The course attacks, in depth, the major theoretical concepts and ideas of chemistry such as the mole, stoichiometry, periodicity, atomic structure, bonding, chemical reactions, chemical energy, kinetics, equilibria and solution chemistry (including acid and base theories and electrochemistry). In addition, a unit on organic chemistry and biochemistry is studied. Classroom dialogue and problem- solving encourage students to think creatively, to analyze and question scientific information, and to foster independent work habits. Weekly laboratory work to demonstrate, elucidate, and develop key concepts is an essential part of this course. Full year course, 8 times per 6 day cycle, 7 credits CHEMISTRY 432 (AE) Grades: 10 -12 Grouping: Homogeneous Prerequisite: Algebra I; Algebra II (AE) or Geometry (AE) (concurrently) Chemistry (AE) is a comprehensive chemistry course with a solid laboratory component. The course content includes the following major inorganic chemical concepts: the mole, stoichiometry, periodicity, atomic structure, bonding chemical reactions, chemical energy, kinetics, equilibria solutions and acids and bases. The course requires Algebra II or Geometry concurrently, to support problem solving and conceptualization of abstract chemical concepts. The extensive laboratory work is used to develop key chemical concepts, teach basic laboratory techniques, and train students in data acquisition and analysis. Full year course, 8 times per 6 day cycle, 7 credits CHEMISTRY 433 (CP) Grades: 10 - 12 Grouping: Homogeneous Prerequisite: Algebra I completed Chemistry (CP) is a college preparatory course designed to provide the students with a fundamental understanding of major concepts in chemistry. Through frequent laboratory experiments, the student gains laboratory skills and is able to appreciate the experimental foundation of chemical concepts. The course covers such topics as nuclear chemistry, the mole concept, stoichiometry, periodicity, atomic structure, chemical bonding, chemical reactions, solution chemistry, and organic chemistry. Full year course, 8 times per week, 6 day cycle, 7 credits 43
PHYSICAL SCIENCE 463 (CP) Grades: 10-12 Grouping: Homogeneous Physical Science (CP) is a conceptual course that introduces the important ideas of physics and chemistry. Labs are an integral part of the course. This course is intended for those students whose math skills are not strong, but are interested in the physical sciences. Successful completion of this class prepares students to take either CP Chemistry or CP Physics the following year. Full year course, 5 times per week, 5 credits PHYSICS 441 (H) Grades: 11-12 Grouping: Homogeneous Prerequisite: Calculus (concurrently) or by Recommendation of the Department Physics (H) is a calculus-based physics course. It is very mathematically challenging and lab-oriented. Labs are used extensively to both introduce and reinforce the key concepts being studied. Students are expected to be able to apply the concepts studied to new situations. The key concepts covered include: motion in one and two dimensions, Newton’s laws, energy, momentum, rotational mechanics, oscillations, universal gravitation, relativity, electrostatics, circuits, and magnetism. While this is not specifically an AP course, it does cover the material of the Physics C “Mechanics” Advanced Placement Exam. Full year course, 8 times per 6 day cycle, 7 credits PHYSICS 442 (AE) Grades: 11-12 Grouping: Homogeneous Prerequisite: Trig/Analytical Geometry (AE) (concurrently) Physics (AE) is an algebra and trigonometry-based physics course. Concepts and mathematical problem solving are both important aspects of this course. Labs are used extensively to both introduce and reinforce the key concepts being studied. The key concepts covered include: motion in one and two dimensions, Newton’s laws, momentum, energy, universal gravitation, electrostatics, circuits, magnetism and waves. Full year course, 8 times per 6 day cycle, 7 credits 44
