ADVANCED PLACEMENT CHEMISTRY (1.2)

COMPUTER SCIENCE II (0.5)

Grade 11-12 | Elective

Grade 10-12 | Elective

This course was designed to be the equivalent of the general chemistry course usually taken during the first college year. This is an academic, quantitative chemistry course and involves the study of atoms and molecules and how they interact according to physical laws. Some of the subjects covered include the atom, stoichiometry, solutions, thermochemistry, periodic properties, chemical bonding, gases, intermolecular forces, kinetics, equilibrium, oxidation-reduction, electrochemistry and nuclear chemistry. Students interested in taking this class must be willing to commit the time necessary to completing labs and extensive outside work.

Using both Arduino and Raspberry Pi kits, students will embark on a semester-long experiential course covering problem solving, programming, electrical engineering, robotics, web design and cyber security, culminating in a semester project.

COMPUTER SCIENCE I (0.5) Grade 10-12 | Elective This is a semester-long course consisting of six introductory units including human-computer interaction, problem solving, web design, programming, computing and data analysis and robotics. The goal of this course is to give students a solid understanding of computers in preparation for more advanced course work.
