Chemistry with Virtual Lab Online
This comprehensive course gives students a solid basis to move on to future studies. The course provides an in-depth survey of all key areas, including atomic structure, chemical bonding and reactions, solutions, stoichiometry, thermochemistry, organic chemistry, and nuclear chemistry. The course includes direct online instruction, virtual laboratories, and related assessments, used with a problem-solving book. Recommended prerequisites: Satisfactory completion of Physical Science and solid grasp of algebra basics, by success in Algebra I (or equivalents) When enrolling in the full year option of this course, it will be delivered in two semesters. Transcripts will reflect each semester separately. |
