Course Description

IB Chemistry provides students an in depth learning opportunity in chemistry, and connects chemistry to other subjects as well as real-world experiences. The course culminates in an External Assessment (written test of concepts from IB), an Internal Assessment (student laboratory investigation and research paper), and a Group for activity (done as a class). The course occurs over two years, completed in the senior year of the student.
