Jacobucci - Chemistry-6 Thursday & Friday

Description: This course utilizes an online “tech”book as its main curriculum. Students must have reliable internet and access to a computer on a daily basis to complete this course successfully. Students will explore the structure of matter, understand chemical and physical changes, write and balance chemical equations, make calculations related to chemical reactions, understand the structure and use of the periodic table, compare, contrast and predict chemical interactions, describe the role of energy during chemical reactions, and learn to conduct, document and report laboratory results. Additionally, the course will introduce basic reactions and nomenclature of organic compounds and concepts of nuclear decay. NOTE: This is a textbook approach to Chemistry. Due to safety requirements and protocols, this course may not qualify as a lab science course for graduation and college admissions requirements. Lab work will be minimal. Students with a strong interest in science at the college level are encouraged to take an additional higher­level chemistry course through the concurrent enrollment program in their senior year.
