This course covers Chemistry concepts for credit recovery; it does not cover the same depth as an original credit course experience. It is advised that you check with the student's school to confirm that the topics covered in the syllabus match those required by the school. It is also suggested to confirm with the school the process for receiving credits, which may involve an assessment administered separately by the school.
The teacher will regularly communicate with students and provide additional assistance and feedback on coursework. Students may work at their own pace to complete the course, but the minimum expectation of work is approximately 80 hours of work. Students are allowed up to 15 weeks to complete the course.
This course explores fundamental qualitative and quantitative aspects of chemistry that are typically presented in a high school chemistry course, including chemical reactions, stoichiometry, atomic theory, and states of matter. The course includes a variety of hands-on experiments. In addition, students will explore how chemistry connects to the real-world, with research on innovations in science and events like climate change.
This course requires student access to certain materials for hands on laboratory activities, as listed in the syllabus.
