Chemistry I: This introductory chemistry course includes a broad spectrum of topics including matter & energy, atomic structure, periodic table, chemical bonding and stoichiometry. Students will be expected to gather information, collect data, make connections, analyze experiments and work interdependently. In accordance with Maspeth High School’s classical education, students will read The Disappearing Spoon by Sam Kean and participate in many formal and informal presentations in the class based on knowledge they have obtained.
Chemistry II: As an extension of Chemistry I, this course covers topics including solutions, gases, kinetics and equilibrium, reduction - oxidation reactions, organic chemistry, and nuclear chemistry. Based on their knowledge, students will analyze and interpret chemical reactions and mechanisms in the world around them.
