Honors Chemistry    1 credit

Prerequisite: Honors Biology

The Chemistry Honors course is designed to prepare students for AP courses in science, as well as future college-level courses in all disciplines.  It is a rigorous, fast-paced curriculum with an emphasis on logical and mathematical analysis of concepts—both qualitative and quantitative.  In order to be successful in Chemistry Honors, students must be dedicated to developing strategies for independent learning, and must also be committed to a focus on active learning in the classroom setting.  To this end, students need strong reading, writing, and mathematical skills.  Though the textbook is the same in CP Chemistry, Honors covers approximately 20% more content, with higher expectations for deep, integrated understanding.
