For middle schoolers who want a preview of high school chemistry topics and labs. This course takes place in a campus lab and requires strict adherence to safety procedures.
In this exploratory chemistry course, we will focus on developing analytical skills to observe chemical and physical changes, examine the properties of substances, and understand how to use data to make explicit claims that are based on evidence and backed up with chemical principles. To achieve this goal, each class session will include lecture and homework review, with the bulk of the time dedicated to an inquiry-based laboratory experiment. Students will develop their observation and analytical skills by conducting experiments and recording their results. Through the analysis of their results, they will learn about some of the fundamental concepts in chemistry, such as atomic structure, the periodic table, reaction types and the natural tendencies and forces that make chemicals react with one another. They will leave this course with laboratory chemistry skills and a greater understanding of how chemistry is at work in the world around them.
For students completing Grade 7 or 8.
