C1 Chemistry I Links

Curriculum Framework

• Massachusetts Curriculum Framework for Chemistry grade 10-11, 2006 version (PDF format or MS Word format): this document describes the topics to be covered in Chemistry 1 courses (all levels) in Massachusetts. Topics in boldface are mandatory and are fair game for the MCAS chemistry test.

Websites for Chemistry I Textbooks

Publisher's websites for textbooks often have practice tests/problems, tutorials, and other resources.

• H. Eugene LeMay, Herbert Beall, Karen M. Robblee, & Douglas C. Brower, Chemistry: Connections to Our Changing World, Prentice Hall, 2002. (This is the website for our textbook.)
• Antony C. Wilbraham, Dennis D. Staley, Michael S. Matta, Edward L. Waterman, Chemistry, Prentice Hall, 2005.

Websites for AP and College Textbooks

These textbook sites also have practice tests/problems, tutorials, etc., but keep in mind that they are for a more advanced chemistry course, and often contain material and concepts that are beyond the scope of a high school first-year course.
