Applied Chemistry-Chemistry in the Kitchen - Honors Option Available

Get ready for a chemistry course like no other! This hands-on, engaging class takes the often abstract world of chemistry and brings it to life in a practical and fun way. Using exciting curriculum sources like Guest Hollow’s High School Kitchen, Culinary Reactions, and What Einstein Told His Cook, students will discover the fascinating chemistry behind everyday activities. Imagine your student exploring how chemical reactions affect the foods they eat, how the science of cooking can turn a simple recipe into a lesson in molecular gastronomy, and why those everyday “chemistry moments” are so much more than just basic science! This course not only strengthens understanding in a core scientific field but also connects these concepts to real-life experiences, showing how God’s creativity and intelligence are woven into the very fabric of creation. Whether your child is an aspiring scientist or just looking for a fun and meaningful way to learn, this course will spark their curiosity, inspire hands-on learning, and connect the dots between science and the world they live in. It’s chemistry with a twist—come join us, and let’s make learning an adventure!

This college prep lab course satisfies the required credit for Biology with labs necessary to graduate in SC and NC.  This course focuses on scientific investigation through the study of living things and the world in which we live. Emphasis is placed on the Creator of all living things, and students will be exposed to scientific language, methods, concepts, research, and current technology. They will engage in lab investigations to foster development in the scientific method. There will be several labs using the microscope, such as learning how to mount and stain specimens and observing pond organisms.  We will also dissect worms, crayfish, fish, and frogs and perform many more observations. Subject matter includes Classification systems, atoms, chemical structures, ecosystems, biomes, ecological communities, cell structure and function, cellular energy, DNA, proteins, cell cycles, and genetics (including inheritance, disorders, and technology). Students will also learn about viruses, protists, fungi, and the fascinating worlds of plants and animals.  This class is very hands-on and will teach students how to write labs! Honors option available upon request.  (AP recommendations given upon request).
