Which Chemistry is the right one for you? Did you successfully complete Algebra

I? Will you be majoring in a science related

field in college? Do you enjoy math? Are you willing to work outside of class

time? Do you enjoy challenging yourself?

Concepts Covered in BOTH Honors Chemistry and Chemistry, but not at the same depth or in the same order

Matter Chemical/physical

properties and changes

Scientific Method Atomic Structure History of the atom Periodicity Metals/Non Metals/

Metalloids

pH Reaction Types Balancing Equations Titrations States of Matter Bonding – Ionic and

Covalent Equilibrium Kinetics

The Differences???? In Chemistry:

Very little math (calculator not needed) Graphical analysis Chemistry is not math based

In Honors Chemistry We use a graphing calculator MOST days Solve stoichiometry problems using dimensional

analysis Participate in inquiry labs Keep a lab notebook Interpret data from tables and graphs Use Vernier software and equipment in the lab

regularly
