Honors Chemistry I (Period 7)

Course Description

Chemistry is the study of matter and energy and their interactions.  Chemistry is a college preparatory class to a first semester college general chemistry course. The state of Tennessee requires all high school students receive credit in Chemistry or Physics as part of a rigorous high school curriculum. Students graduating from an accredited high school in Tennessee will be ready for either college or career upon graduation. Students taking this class should have successfully completed Algebra I, Physical Science, and Biology I. Students are expected to be motivated and spend extra time studying outside of class. The problem-solving strategies obtained during this course will prepare college-bound, technological school-bound, and job direct students for careers in the sciences, medicine, engineering, and other technological careers. Honors Chemistry I will move at a faster pace and will cover topics in greater depth with a greater emphasis on stoichiometry and solution chemistry.
