Chemistry (Grades 10–12)
Thursday 12:45–2:40
Friday 10:00–11:55
Teacher: Laura Marsman
Description: Chemistry is a further study of the perfect and orderly design of our Creator! This course will include the structure and properties of matter, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, thermochemistry, and kinetics. Hands-on laboratories will be used to reinforce these topics each week. Students will learn critical analysis of science, how to write a quality lab report, and how chemistry affects us in our everyday lives. There will be several projects throughout the year to help the students understand many of the concepts we cover. My goal is to make Chemistry relatable and enjoyable!

Prerequisite: It is very important that your student is proficient in math knowledge and skill at the Algebra I level to take this class. If they have not successfully completed an Algebra I course, or if you need confirmation of their ability in this area, please go to the following link to download and take a proficiency test for Algebra II which indicates a proficient level of Algebra I: http://www.hmhco.com/~/media/sites/home /education/global/pdf/placement/mathematics/k-12/saxon-math-homeschool/SHS_upper_placement.pdf. The student should take the test and self-grade (the answer sheet is available on the download as well) to determine their skill level to achieve in Chemistry. There is a $40 material fee is included in the cost of this class.
