Integrating Advanced High School Chemistry Research with Organic Chemistry and Instrumental Methods of Analysis
Brian J. Kennedy
Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, Alexandria, VA 22312

March 2008
Vol. 85 No. 3
p. 393
Abstract
This paper describes and discusses the unique chemistry course opportunities beyond the advanced placement-level available at a science and technology magnet high school. Students may select entry-level courses such as honors and advanced placement chemistry; they may also take electives in organic chemistry with instrumental methods of analysis; and ultimately students may complete the senior chemical analysis research course. Throughout these course offerings students are exposed to an advanced, challenging curriculum that prepares them to be highly successful in a variety of future pursuits. Course sequence details and instructional methods are presented.
Supplement
A document summary of the senior chemical analysis research laboratory student handbook
