中學化學全課程學期長科學課程

The study of chemistry and the atomic world is in many ways the foundation to understanding modern science. This course will cover atoms, molecules, and chemical bonds and will extend through the periodic table and the characteristics of metals and nonmetals. This content provides the setting for learning about chemical and physical changes, as well as chemical reactions and equations. Solution chemistry allows students to gain experience in practical chemistry and offers interesting reactions for students to observe. Students will investigate the way substances react and how energy is important in the dynamics of matter and its states. Along the way, they will be exposed to the scientific method, scientific measurement techniques using the metric system, and inquiry-based science. The live classes will include interesting demonstrations.

PLEASE NOTE: Students are expected to be onscreen during during any class discussions or questions
