Química de secundaria, parte 2: Introducción a la química orgánica con laboratorios y proyectos semanales

A grade for the class is available if requested.

Thiis course will introduce students to the topics in organic chemistry and is meant to give students interested in the sciences and health professions knowledge of the subject before taking it in college.  Students will need to have a good understanding of general chemistry to succeed in the course, however students do not need to have a strong grasp of mathematics to understand the topics presented.  

We will focus on a specific topic or series of topics each week with previous concepts being integrated into later topics when appropriate.  Material will be taught in the Socratic method as much as possible along with examples and illustrations.  During each class we will go over a worksheet to help solidify the concepts taught, and students will be asked to contribute their knowledge to the completion of the worksheet.  

Optional out-of-class homework assignments with answers will further help students master the concepts.  An optional assessment at the end of each unit (every five weeks) will test the knowledge of the student.  Optional at-home labs and projects will help students gain hands-on experience with the concepts.
