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.
