Novare Chemistry Supplement (Chemistry for Accelerated Students)
- Prepares students for Chemistry for the Accelerated Student by reviewing the basic physics concepts necessary for success in chemistry
- Students who have taken physics prior to Chemistry for Accelerated Students do not need to complete the booklet
Designed to prepare students for Chemistry for the Accelerated Student, this booklet provides an overview of the basic physics concepts necessary for success in chemistry. If a student has had a high school Physics course, it is not necessary to use this supplement. Students taking the Novare General Chemistry course also do not need to use this supplement.
Topics included are unit conversions, SI units, metric prefixes, significant digits, scientific notation, density, atomic theory prior to Neils Bohr, substances, physical and chemical properties, the electromagnetic spectrum, along with potential and kinetic energy. The author recommends students work through the information during the summer prior to beginning Chemistry for the Accelerated Student. Students should be able to master this information in two weeks. 27 pgs, pb. ~Deanne
This booklet is only for those preparing to use Chemistry for Accelerated Students. It is not needed for General Chemistry.
We understand that many students are coming to the Novare chemistry curriculum following Biology. This is the traditional sequence in most schools. But the Novare course sequence, designed to improve science education generally, places a physics or physical science course at the 9th grade level due to the pedagogical advantages this creates for students. Chemistry for Accelerated Students begins where a basic physics course leaves off.
But what about those students who haven't had this material?
This booklet has been created to help those students who are ready for an accelerated chemistry course, but lack a handful of physics concepts that Chemistry for Accelerated Students does not cover. The physics topics below are presented in brief form to bring such students quickly up to speed so that the real chemistry course can start. Accelerated students should be able to apprehend this material in a couple of weeks, or during the summer in preparation for a course using Chemistry for Accelerated Students.
Topics included:
* Unit Conversions
* SI Units
* Metric Prefixes
* Significant Digits
* Scientific Notation
* Density
* Atomic Theory Prior to Neils Bohr
* Types of Substances
* Physical and Chemical Properties
* The Electromagnetic Spectrum
* Potential and Kinetic Energy
Written for students with a passion for the sciences, this rigorous program will prepare students well for college level Science courses. Providing an accelerated scope and sequence, and course pacing, this program covers all the concepts in the Novare General Chemistry text at a greater depth and adds additional topics including thermochemistry and kinetics, chemical equilibrium, and an introduction to organic chemistry. Exercises are abundant and help students master the material. Due to the rigorous nature of this program, it is recommended that Algebra II be taken concurrently. Physics is a pre-requisite. If your student has taken Biology and not Physics, it is highly recommended the Novare Chemistry Supplement be used to prepare them for the course. It is also assumed students understand the SI system of units and unit prefixes and can demonstrate proficiency with unit conversions and computations. A short tutorial is available in the appendix. In the Novare Science High School Accelerated Pathway, this course follows Accelerated Studies in Physics and Chemistry. The course is written from a God-centered worldview that understands current scientific theories to be compatible with a belief in God’s creation. Required resources include the Student Edition Textbook, Digital Resources, Solutions Manual, and an Experiment Book. There are two options to add lab experiments to meet your high school transcript requirements: Chemistry Experiments for High School at Home written for homeschools or schools without a standard lab facility or the Chemistry Experiments for High School for schools or other facilities with standard lab equipment and lab space available. Optional and valuable resources include the General Chemistry Lab Kit which offers most supplies for the Chemistry Experiments for High School at Home and the Student Lab Handbook.
