This course covers the nature of matter and the changes it undergoes. Instructors introduce students to concepts such as the structure of atoms, chemical equations, Lewis structures, oxidation-reduction, electron configurations, molecular geometry, and intermolecular forces. Students also have the opportunity to practice dimensional analysis, stoichiometric calculations, gas laws, and calorimetry. Honors chemistry uses the pedagogical methods common to all Honors courses: writing-intensive, collaborative, and experiential instruction. As an honors course, there is a focus on analytical writing and exploring the field through reading primary source research.Usually HeldMon 1:00pm–4:10pm, Mon 2:05pm–5:15pm, Mon Wed 10:55am–12:20pm, Mon Wed 12:30pm–1:55pm
