Advanced Chemistry

Description:

NOTE: Advanced Chemistry is currently offered every other year and will NOT be offered in the 2024–25 academic year.

This advanced high school chemistry course combines up-to-date science with a Christian worldview and an educational approach that aims for wonder, integration, and mastery. Meeting Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, this course will include both lab and lecture/discussion components. This course requires daily dedication. Students should anticipate an hour per day of study to fully master the material, and regular homework assignments need to be completed promptly. For students who have not previously taken Accelerated Studies in Physics and Chemistry, summer study is highly recommended.

From the textbook publisher’s website:

“Chemistry for Accelerated Students is an ideal text for students who love science and aspire to a STEM-oriented college program. This book contains up-to-date chemistry information, beautiful illustrations, and lucid narrative. It also supports Novare’s trademark mastery-learning paradigm.

This accelerated text is a more intense treatment than our General Chemistry text. This text includes additional chapters on thermochemistry, chemical equilibrium, and a glimpse into organic chemistry. Ample exercises are included in each chapter giving students plenty of opportunities to develop skills. Explanations move along a little faster and go into a little more depth than the grade-level text.

Although the mathematics involved in chemistry are generally not advanced, Chemistry for Accelerated Students is recommended for students who are concurrently enrolled in Algebra II. As with all Novare textbooks, our Textbook Philosophy guides the layout and composition of the text. Colors and images are attractive without being distracting.”
