CP1 ("Regular") Chemistry 1

Chemistry 1 is a course designed for high school students in grades 10-12. Topics studied include laboratory, measurement, matter, thermochemistry (heat), atomic structure, nuclear chemistry, electronic structure, the periodic table and periodicity, naming compounds and writing chemical formulas, covalent bonding and molecular geometry, intermolecular forces, the mole, solutions, chemical reactions, oxidation and reduction (REDOX) reactions, stoichiometry, gases, kinetics, equilibrium, and acids and bases. The course is supported by an interactive laboratory environment where students gain hands-on experience with the concepts being studied. The content of the course meets or exceeds the requirements of the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks for high school chemistry.

MOODLE

In 2006 (long Before Schoology existed), I setup my own MOODLE site, which I have used ever since. (Moodle is another LMS that has been around since the 1990s.) Because MOODLE has more options for giving tests, including test banks and customizeable questions, you will be taking tests for this course on my MOODLE site. I have created an account for you (using your LPS username). You will need to make sure that you can log into MOODLE (your starter password is your student ID) as well as Schoology.
