Grade 10 - Science
AP Chemistry B - Semester 2 (Credit: 0.50)The Advanced Chemistry course is designed around the AP Chemistry Curriculum
Framework
established
by the College Board.
The course
is presented
through the lens
of scientific inquiry
—
the process of channeling human curiosity into purposeful
exploration, discovery, and
application
of observable natural phenomena.
In this course,
students will grow to understand their physical world in
a deep way. At the same time,
an inquiry and STEM
-
oriented approach to chemistry offers students
a shared method
of asking questions about
the world around them. Their experience and knowledge from
this course
—
tied to a strong emphasis on qualitative and q
uantitative analysis and
communication
—
is designed to enable them to understand important scientific and
societal problems and to creatively grapple with such problems.
Students will be taught and encouraged to continually pose questions about the subject
matter. Through exploration and discovery of the phenomenon at the core of each
lesson, students will be guided to answer their own questions and
will
be able to discuss
the phenomenon in ways that reflect sound scientific practices.
