Welcome to Physical Science - Matter!
Welcome to Physical Science - Matter! This course is a required course for all incoming freshman. Students who succeed in this class will have the opportunity to take classes such as Chemistry 2 & 3, AP Biology, and AP Physics.
Over the course of the trimester, we will cover the scientific method, measurement and laboratory practices and techniques for the first part of class, density concepts and calculations, the periodic table, and continuation of laboratory techniques for the second part of the class. Then, we will explore chemical and physical changes (phase changes included), the law of conservation of mass, types of bonds (focus on ionic bonding, naming ionic compounds, and writing correct chemical formulas) and more advanced laboratory techniques. Finally, we will cover balancing chemical equations, rates of reaction and nuclear chemistry. |
