Chemistry Credit Recovery (CR)
Cost: $199 per semester
Prerequisites: Previously failed the course
Length: Two semesters (8 weeks each)
Required Course Materials:
- Prentice Hall Chemistry Lab Manual, Student ed. Antony Wilbraham, Dennis Staley, Michael Matta, and Edward Waterman (Prentice Hall, 2005).
ISBN-10: 0131903594 / ISBN-13: 9780131903593
Optional for course: Scientific calculator.
Course Description: Credit Recovery courses feature pretests at the beginning of each unit, allowing students to test out of mastered concepts and instead focus where they need the most support. Credit Recovery eliminates teacher scored work with the exception of teacher scored tests at the end of each unit. Passing score is 70% or greater with the completion of all unit tests. Students will not pass without completing all tests.
Market Square Education’s online Credit Recovery Chemistry course offers a curriculum that emphasizes students’ understanding of fundamental chemistry concepts while helping them acquire tools to be conversant in a society highly influenced by science and technology.
The course provides students with opportunities to learn and practice critical scientific skills within the context of relevant scientific questions. Topics include the nature of science, the importance of chemistry to society, atomic structure, bonding in matter, chemical reactions, redox reactions, electrochemistry, phases of matter, equilibrium and kinetics, acids and bases, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, nuclear reactions, organic chemistry, and alternative energy.
Scientific inquiry skills are embedded in the direct instruction, wherein students learn to ask scientific questions, form and test hypotheses, and use logic and evidence to draw conclusions about concepts. Lab activities reinforce critical thinking, writing, and communication skills and help students develop a deeper understanding of the nature of science.
Throughout this course, students are given an opportunity to understand how chemistry concepts are applied in technology and engineering. Journal and Practice activities provide additional opportunities for students to apply learned concepts and practice their writing skills.
This course is built to state standards and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Project 2061 benchmarks and the National Science Education Standards.
