Syllabus for Chemistry I Paris High School
Mrs. Brett Block blockb@paris95.k12.il.us
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This is a full year course designed to introduce students to general chemical principles and to supplement these principles. Theory, mathematical relationships, and laboratory experience are integral parts of this course, and are emphasized throughout the year. Chemistry is a very important subject for students who are college bound and/or considering a science-related career. The class is offered to Juniors or Seniors that have completed Algebra II. Sophomores must have completed Algebra II with an A/B average to enroll. Use of computational tools such as WebMO and ChemSketch, as well as Virtual Labs, Computer Simulations, and Excel Graphing Technology will be used along with traditional demonstrations and wet labs to enhance the coursework. The topics we will cover this year include the following:
1. Lab Safety
2. Matter, Change, and Energy
3. Measurement
4. Dimensional Analysis
5. Atomic Theory
6. Electron Arrangement
7. Periodic Table and Lab
8. Chemical Bonding
9. Chemical Formulas
10. Chemical Reactions
11. Stoichiometry
12. Molarity I
13. Gas Laws I
14. Acids and Bases I
