Accelerated Chemistry I is a demanding course that involves critical thinking and problem solving. Throughout the course you will be asked to analyze data, draw conclusions, process new information, and build your own understanding of chemistry concepts. Only after you have investigated new ideas will you discuss them formally. The model we will be using in class is - engage, explore, explain, evaluate. You will be asked to analyze common occurrences such as melting ice cubes and burning candles in order to understand the chemical processes that allow them to occur. You will analyze the relationship between macroscopic properties and microscopic structures, which in turn will help you to gain a better understanding of the world around you,
In order to fully engage students and make personal connections/ownership to the content, it is vital to connect a topic to the student’s life. Unit II is the smallest chemistry unit that provides the necessary background knowledge students need for
Activity #2: Think, pair, share-students will pair up and discuss various different chemical changes or try to understand one of their peer’s understanding of a chemical change-and why it is useful. Think, pair, share activities are useful since they can participate with each other, promotes thinking, and there share their information they have learned with the entice class. Time: 10 min. Objective 2 (Elaboration)
Therefore, the concepts make sense to the knowledge I previously learnt, especially when combined with the other sciences. The more I learn, especially this year in the university introductory courses, the more exciting and interesting chemistry becomes. This excitement of making sense of my previous knowledge needs to continue, as I told myself, and I would need to take chemistry as my major to do so.
After choosing to spend the summer in a chemistry lab at Foothill Community College, I discovered just how much I love science while tutoring other college students in the subject. During those unforgettable hours on campus, I learned about the college experience and it was ultimately my favorite learning adventure, so I was somewhat disappointed when it ended. I have found that the lab is like my second home, and am therefore naturally drawn towards the countless research
Chemistry is the study of the composition, behaviour and properties of matter, and of the elements of the Earth and its atmosphere.
Participating in the MCORE program is a significant bridge towards achieving the set goals for chemistry students of Michigan as the program offer various education related opportunities. Being part of the MCORE program enables one to interact with other students and possibly expand knowledge by sharing ideas. Again, the program exposes one to important presentation skills as it allows its members to attend presentation sessions with other senior students. Another benefit of MCORE program towards achieving education goals is the opportunity of touring cutting-edge research facilities that is a significant tool in personal development as an aspiring chemistry professional. Finally, the MCORE program has an objective of providing advice to chemistry
To finish the second semester of 9th grade science we continued with our chemistry unit and focused on the topics of chemical bonding, chemical formulas, stoichiometry, and acids and bases. There were two summative exams to measure students’ knowledge and understanding of the topics and a chemistry design experiment exploration where groups of students inquired about a chemistry topic of their choice and designed their own experiments about the topic. In 10th grade science students will study a mixture of physics and biology topics through the MYP framework.
Chemistry is a branch of science that provides information about substances being composed of matter. Chemistry is a useful class to almost everyone, but especially those who want to pursue a degree in the medical field. I have high hopes of becoming a doctor, so chemistry was a resourceful class because it supplied beneficial information. Chemistry allows me to get experience working in a laboratory with chemicals and learning lessons about formulas and the periodic table. It also challenges me by learning about inorganic substances I have never heard of before. Furthermore, chemistry prepares me for college by making sure I establish time management skills. [Thesis]: Considering I want to become a doctor, chemistry
When I hear the word "Chemistry" negative thoughts start to form inside my mind because I don't know too much about it. I'm nervous to take this course because the last time I took a Chemistry class was in high school and I didn't learn anything to be honest. I could picture very smart nerdy looking people with glasses when I hear the term Chemistry. I can also picture things around me like for example, rocks, plants, makeup, shampoo, etc that comes from it. Everything around us revolves around Chemistry and everyday subjects.
General Chemistry (CH101/102) and Advanced General Chemistry (CH151/152) are the introductory science courses that all cadets take as part of the core curriculum consisting of 26 common core courses and are designed to provide a general background in chemistry principles. The courses include the study of the nature of matter, atomic/molecular structure and the fundamental concepts of scientific principles, theories and concepts.

-Informing future students and parents about our grade 12 senior chemistry course by demonstrating labs and the chemistry behind them.
I have never been particularly strong in S.T.E.M. classes, leaning more towards humanitarian and artistic classes, but I’ve always enjoyed learning how things work. But when my AP Chemistry class began, I immediately started to fall behind.
Undertaking chemistry as a subject in my senior years in high school, has given me the
As I enter my third year of teaching chemistry, I have been looking at a lot of
