Chemistry A Description

Mrs. Silva will be using a specific curriculum designed for KEYS covering all the basics of Chemistry. Students will have all of their lessons, notes, homework, and labs inside a workbook, and the supply fee will cover the cost. If an additional resource is needed, "Discovering Design with Chemistry" by Dr. Jay L. Wile can be purchased, but it is NOT required.

Textbooks and Supplies

The following supplies are to be purchased by parents.

3-ring binder (at least 1")
Scientific calculator

Prerequisites

Algebra II is required as a prerequisite or corequisite, as math concepts are used to understand the behavior of chemicals. Having a number of previous science courses is helpful as chemistry is foundational to all the sciences. That background provides opportunities for the application of atomic and molecular understanding.

Class Information

Parents are responsible for purchasing all textbooks and supplies before the first day of class.

KEYS will invoice supply fees at the time of registration and class selection. This fee covers materials, lab supplies, and other expenses incurred by the teacher. It is a one-time fee, transferable until August, but non-refundable.

Please note the grade level for this class. Students younger than the recommended grade levels need special permission before signing up for the class. Please contact the office for more information.

What happens if a class is full? You may email administration@keysofva.org to be waitlisted.
