3031: Chemistry CP* 5 credits per semester Prerequisite: Biology CP Grade level: 10th 3030: Chemistry (H)* 5 credits per semester Prerequisite: Biology H, department approval Co-Requisite: Algebra II/Trigonometry Grade level: 10th This course covers all the major areas of chemistry to enable students to take the SAT II and as preparation for AP Chemistry and AP Biology. It covers reactions, bonding theory, atomic theory, periodic law, stoichiometry, gas, acids and bases, kinetics equilibrium and oxidation and reduction. This course may require that some lab work be done during lunch or after school. 3032: Physics CP* 5 credits per semester Prerequisite: Chemistry CP & Algebra I CP Grade level: 11th & 12th SCIENCE This course will cover those concepts that will allow the student to have a basic understanding of chemistry. The course of study will include stoichiometry, atomic theory, bonding, descriptive chemistry, the periodic table, simple chemical reactions, thermochemistry and states of matter. The class will include an extensive hands-on program that allows the students to ���see��� the concepts that are being covered. 3033: AP Chemistry* 5 credits per semester Prerequisite: Chemistry H with an A or B, department approval Co-Requisite: Algebra II/Trigonometry H Grade level: 10th-12th This course is designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of basic topics and concepts in physics. All of the material covered on the SAT II exam is covered in this course. This course addresses physics from a more conceptual approach than problem-solving. The course of study includes mechanics, fluids, wave motion, and light (optics), and electricity and magnetism. This course is designed to provide the student with a thorough understanding of freshman-level college chemistry. The goal is to prepare students for the AP Chemistry examination, which is usually administered during May. A strong performance on this examination will provide students with college credit at most universities. The course of study includes stoichiometry, bonding and molecular geometry, the chemical properties of the major groups of elements, behavior of solids, liquids and gases, equilibrium theory, kinetics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry and other selected topics. 3040: Physics (H)/IB Physics SL 5 credits per semester Prerequisite: Honors Chemistry; Algebra II/ Trigonometry; a B (85%) or higher in CP Chemistry Grade level: 9th-12th This course is designed to give students a detailed understanding of the concepts that will allow them to succeed in AP/IB Physics. Students learn to use vectors, kinematics (in one and two dimensions), Newton���s Laws and their applications (both linear and circular motion), electricity, magnetism, quantum physics, and nuclear physics. 19 WWW.FAIRMONTSCHOOLS.COM
