| Syllabus* |
|
A variety of chemistry topics are presented each year. They vary slightly between general, honors, and AP chemistry. However, the depth of the topics discussed is significant. Below is a brief outline of general chemistry topics covered. They are listed during the month that they have usually been introduced. However, this school year, the order of these topics could be changed. Most topics, onced introduced are used throughout the school year.
