This is a high school level course that can help prepare
students for the AP Chemistry and/or SAT II Chemistry Subject
Test. Deeply contextualized in history, the Advanced Chemistry
course guides students on a journey of discovery that
illuminates the foundation of all the major concepts in modern
chemistry -- exclusively through experiment and analysis. In our
introductory chemistry course, Periodic Table, students
rigorously outline the scope of chemistry culminating in the
assembly of the periodic table of the elements. While an amazing
achievement, many conspicuous phenomena went unexplained. Chief
among these were the heat (often times explosive in nature)
associated with reactions, the phenomena of dissolution, and
electrochemical phenomena. Advanced Chemistry students probe
these aspects through experiment on a course to a grand
understanding and knowledge of the nature and behavior of the
matter of the universe. Students answer the question "Why does
chemistry happen?" Intensive explorations rooted in
