STEM Chemistry (from the guide to program planning)
(10) year
Credit: 1.0 Science
Prerequisite: Grades 8-9: Recommendation From 8th/9th Grade Science Teacher; concurrent enrollment in geometry or higher math; presentation of a plan for junior and senior years showing intention of enrolling in A) IB Biology or IB Physics; and B) one other science class
Prerequisite: Grade 10 : Completion of STEM Physics
This year long, lab-based course will study the interactions among different forms of energy and matter, emphasizing higher level mathematical relationships and reasoning. The mathematical skills necessary for success include algebraic manipulation. graphing, and data analysis. This course is intended for students who are interested in exploring Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) career or educational pathways. It will address, with extended depth, the Oregon State Science Standards. Topics addressed will include the structures of atoms and compounds, the Periodic Table of the Elements, chemical reactions, gases, solutions, chemical quantities, kinetic theory, and thermodynamics. Content and skills that have been learned in previous science courses will be built upon.
