Course Description |
While this course is intended to prepare the student for AP tests and/or the examination leading to the IB certificate, any student who would like the challenge of a rigorous chemistry course is welcome. On completion of this course, the student should be prepared to take the AP Chemistry Exam. This Higher Level IB Chemistry Exam would require additional study in the Organic Chemistry course. In order to receive IB credit on their transcript, the student is required to complete all IBO course requirements including Group Four Internal Assessment, lab work, and complete the official IBO fee paid exam or non-fee teacher administered IB exam. Content: The IB curriculum emphasizes higher levels of analysis and critical thinking, applied to chemical facts and concepts and student-generated laboratory data in these IB CORE topic areas: stoichiometry, atomic theory, periodicity, chemical bonding, states of matter, thermodynamics, kinetics, equilibrium, electrochemistry, acids and bases. In addition, we will discuss the environmental chemistry IB option. |
