Honors Physical Science: This course is composed of two courses:  Introductory Chemistry and Introductory Physics.  Introductory Chemistry includes atomic structure, electron configuration, chemical nomenclature, balancing chemical equations, and basic stoichiometry.  Introductory Physics includes motion, work, energy, simple machines.

Regular Physical Science:   This course covers the same material as Honors Physical Science in less detail.

Regular Chemistry:   This course allows students to study the composition, structure, and properties of matter and the changes they undergo. Students will study periodic trends of elements, bonding, formulas, equations, stoichiometry, gas laws, solutions, acids and bases, kinetics, thermodynamics, redox reactions and electrochemistry. A major goal of the course is to develop in students an appreciation and understanding of the complex structure and behavior of the world around them and to help students develop the ability to evaluate the complexity of science and technological issues. This course involves the use of advanced mathematical and reasoning skills.
