Chemistry honors

<p>Well i was told that chemistry honors was hard and i'm wondering is it? because science isn't hard for me at all but i was told you need good math skills and i'm horrible at math.</p>

<p>You don’t have to be a calculus student for chemistry; it’s just basic math with a few twists and turns.</p>

<p>I’m doing Chemistry Honors :)</p>

<p>For us, its a 10th grade course (I don’t know what grade you’re in). We took Physics in 9th grade for some reason o.O</p>

<p>I’m good at math… I just don’t like it that much. You should try it :slight_smile: You can probably get help from the teacher if you need it.</p>

<p>Nah. Most of the math is just stoichiometry AKA dimensional analysis AKA how to get from one unit (or ratio) to another. If anything else, it would just be <em>plug into the formula</em> and etc.</p>

<p>Well it’s easy for some people, and hard for others. It’s not purely math like physics. The best way i can describe it is algebra. Sometimes problems involve numbers. Other times it involves “variables” in equations, which are actually the compounds and molecules.</p>

<p>After taking a ridiculously difficult honors geometry course, I found chemistry just the kind of inspiration to try better at math. Really, chemistry math is super fun, pertinent, and feels useful right in the moment.</p>

<p>also it depends on your school. honors classes do not have standardized curriculums the way ap’s do</p>

<p>I took Chemistry honors two years ago and AP Chemistry last year and didn’t have any problem with the math. A lot of the stuff you just plug in stuff to an equation and it’s not very hard. I found the non-math stuff a lot harder but err I still made all A’s in chemistry honors and AP chemistry.</p>

<p>I’m taking Chem honors, physics honors, and AP Biology next year lol.</p>

<p>Well…I remember Honors Chemistry. I HATED it. Well mainly because I was hoping we would do many labs and cool experiments…but we only did like a few of which most of them were lame. I also am not good at math, and this course was a struggle for me. I had to come in many times before and after school for help. My teacher was also not so great, he got really mad when I asked questions “During Class.” If you are quick at getting how to do things you might want to try but for me this class was one of my hardest.</p>

<p>In honors chemistry we never did any real labs either. We never used the bunsen burners and most of our labs would involve M&M’s or seeds or something. In AP Chemistry every single one of our labs had multiple chemicals and bunsen burners at least…</p>

<p>nah honors chem isnt hard. a lot of people complain about it but its not too bad…</p>

<p>im even taking AP Chem next year because i like it</p>
