This course will explore a variety of topics related to the science of food including: the chemistry and nutrition of carbohydrates, fats and proteins; the chemistry and importance of the various vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals in our diets; the use of food substitutes and additives to various food products; the role of microorganisms in the production of various foods such as bread and yogurt and how these microbes alter the chemistry of important foods; and the chemical changes that take place in foods during cooking and baking. We will be spending significant time both in the lab and in the kitchen, conducting experiments and investigating the impact of cooking and baking on different foods. Prerequisite: Chemistry, Honors Chemistry or AP Chemistry. UC approved. Interview with: Dr. Schafer Produced by: Larissa Tyagi

Honors Chemistry serves as an introduction to modern chemistry. Atomic structure, bonding, phase change, solutions, chemical reactions, thermodynamics, acid- base equilibria, kinetics and aspects of organic and inorganic chemistry are included. Emphasis is placed on developing problem-solving skills. This course incorporates lab work. Honors Chemistry Prerequisite: Physics or Honors Physics and departmental approval. UC approved. AP Chemistry is the equivalent of an introductory college general chemistry course. We begin with a brief
 review of some basic topics in chemistry relating to the nature of atoms, molecules, ions, the concept of mole and stoichiometry. This is followed by a more in-depth discussion of the electronic structure of atoms, the nature of chemical bonding and how it relates to states of matter, thermochemistry, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, thermodynamics and electrochemistry. We will also touch upon basic organic and nuclear chemistry. A major objective of this course is to understand basic principles and apply them towards solving comprehensive problems. The course is integrated with a rigorous laboratory program. Students who have completed this course will be prepared to take the AP Chemistry examination as well as the SAT Subject Test in chemistry.

高中选课的自由度体现在广度与难度上。午饭没得吃也要选救生员培训课。来看看一个 高中生的生活 弦乐教室一角 School officially starts at around 7:40 and lasts until around 2:20. Extra help is available before and after school. There are also many clubs and sports to join after the school day as well. Last year, I spent two hours every day with the swim team. I didn’t join the team this year because I felt it was not worth the time and dedication necessary. As a highschooler, you have to balance and prioritize（平衡与优先级别）. I can spend more time on clubs, my studies, and my violin practice, since I am a pretty serious musician. What courses are you taking this year? 走廊上平时人满为患 I take Algebra 2 Honors, English Honors, Italian Honors, AP （Advanced Placement) World History, AP Psychology, Advanced Social Science Research, and Honors Chemistry. These classes are for more serious students. I also take Chamber orchestr...
