(1 CREDIT) PHYSICAL SCIENCE

Prerequisite: 11/12th grade, 80% on Algebra Regents, successful completion of 2 high school science classes, enrollment in a previous chemistry class recommended and current enrollment in (or past completion of) Geometry. 

This IB course will be an extension of our current Regents Chemistry course. Topics include: Stoichiometric relationships, Atomic structure, Periodicity, Chemical bonding and structure, Energetics/thermochemistry,  Chemical kinetics, Equilibrium, Acids and bases, Redox processes, Organic chemistry, Measurement and data processing.  A lab class that meets separately from the regular class is a required component of the course. Students will be prepared for the Regents Chemistry exam, and the IB Standard Level exam that is administered in May, which fulfills the IB science requirement for the IB Diploma.
