Savermom Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I'm working on transcripts and course descriptions today, and am having a difficult time condensing Spectrum Chemistry (Beginning Publishings) into a course description. Would love some examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockhopper Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 This is what I used for portfolio purposes. I do a page like this for each course. Might be too long for transcript purposes, though. I think I mostly copied from the Rainbow website? Chemistry Science (Lab), 1 credit Course Description: This honors-level lab course covers the properties of matter, the periodic table, specific heat, bonds, molecules, the mole, empirical formulas, oxidation-reduction reactions, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, equilibrium, concentration, state of matter, acids / bases, and introductions to organic chemistry and biochemistry. The 32 labs provide hands-on experience in topics such as concentration and serial dilutions, densities, chemical changes including exothermic reactions, chemiluminescence, gas production and precipitation, de- and rehydration, oxidization, electrochemistry, enzyme activity, redox reactions, surface chemistry, the ideal gas law, vapor pressure, extraction, saturation and supersaturation. Daily exercises, the lab manual, and ten quizzes will provide the basis for evaluating achievement of learning objectives.
