KRIER-COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
____________________________________________________________________
PHYSICAL SCIENCE
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Physical Science
is the study of matter and energy.
Topics included are measurements, motion, forces, energy and chemical
reactions. We will use the processes of scientific
inquiry, reasoning, problem solving, hands on activities, laboratory
investigations and cooperative learning.
____________________________________________________________________
CHEMISTRY COURSE
DESCRIPTION: Chemistry is the study
of materials, their composition and structure and the changes they
undergo. In this class you will deal
with chemistry as a systemized body of knowledge. By studying chemistry,
you will be better
able to understand the nature of materials around you and the changes
they
undergo. You will also be better
equipped to function in an increasingly scientific and technological
society.

APPLIED CHEMISTRYCOURSE DESCRIPTION: Chemistry is the study of
materials,
their
composition and structure and the changes they undergo. In this class
you
will deal with chemistry as
a systemized body of knowledge. By
studying chemistry, you will be better able to understand the nature of
materials around you and the changes they undergo. You will also be
better equipped to function
in an increasingly scientific and technological society.
In comparison to the
Chemistry class also offered, Applied Chemistry requires less math and
focuses
more on core concepts.

CHEM II
Chemistry is a pre-requisite for this course which is an advanced
chemistry class. In this class you will learn more about the following
topics: Electrochemistry, Radiation, Thermodynamics, Organic Chemistry,
Radiation, Equillibrium, Acid/Base Chemistry, Luminescence, Biochemistry
as well as some special topics of interest. This class emphasizes
Laboratory experience and is recommended for all students considering a
major in any science area as well as students that particularly like
learning and doing science.

SCIENCE OF COOKING & NUTRITION
This class is an elective class and does not count as a required science
credit. The class consists of three main parts; cooking, laboratory and
classroom work. In this class you will learn how to cook some meals,
snacks & desserts. You will learn about nutrition and conduct
experiments
with foods in the science laboratory to learn about their chemical
composition.
