CTYOnline - Honors Chemistry

Prerequisites: Qualifying math score and completion of Physical Science or equivalent and Algebra I

Recommended School Credit: 1.0 credit
Individually Paced

CTY's individually paced high school science courses help students learn complex biology and chemistry concepts using a dynamic online environment that includes 3D animations and audio-narration. Students review and apply new knowledge through the use of activities and applications. Practice tests provide instant feedback and preparation for exams and projects. A virtual laboratory component is included in this series.

Honors Chemistry covers topics typically covered in a high school chemistry course and prepares students for Advanced Placement Chemistry. Topics include atomic structure, states of matter, solutions, the periodic table, chemical reactions and transformations, chemical bonding, acid and base chemistry, and energetics. Students use methods of scientific inquiry to learn via interactive web-based lectures and applications. Knowledge is assessed through quizzes, tests, and projects.

Course Length: Typically 6 months
