I really don't know what is in store for me?!

Mix a couple of chemicals in a test tube and apply some heat; see what happens.
Weigh something in an analytical balance to see very accurately -- to the microgram -- what it weighs.
Mix stuff and see what color it turns. Color will tell you what's in it. Qual was fun, but the sulphides really stunk.
You might have Beer/Lambert's Law. That was my favorite. The optical properties depend on the amount of material in the solution.
Whatever you do -- have fun.

I'm in AP Chemistry, and I understand that Honors can get very difficult. I suggest paying attention in class and doing well on your labs. You could also ask your teacher if she could assign some extra-credit. Try going to a University library and reading other books. I tried that! The textbook I was using did not adequately describe what I was being taught in class so that really helped! I know that Sparknotes also has Chemistry study guides, so look into that online...they put the lessons into "simple words" so it's easy to follow along. Basically you should do your homework, pay attention in class and spend some extra time studying on the weekend, this will help you pass your tests! If you succeed this year, I suggest signing up for AP.

A heavy duty high school chemistry course. If you are a good student and comfortable with math and willing to put in the work required in a science course, you should be fine.

chem. is easy.. in the beginning.
you might think that balancing a chemical reaction is hard at first but trust me, it gets a lot easier when you do it 7 -8 times. at the end, the material just becomes redundent.
just do the work, and you'll be fine

You will learn major concepts such as acid-base, nuclear chemistry, oxidation-reduction, and equilibrium. You will also need math skills to calculate advanced chemical equations. I took it last year.

It depends on your school and the teacher. But honestly, who cares? Don't worry about school. I think that last year I might have done maybe 5 pieces of homework at home and I did fine. I've probably got a 3.75+ GPA. Who cares.

don't worry about it. You will most likely understand nothing they tell you, but they give you really easy grades like notebook checks and such. I didn't understand a single thing last year but i still made a 95 average. So just relax.
