First, second, and third laws of thermodynamics. Thermodynamic functions. Applications to thermal properties of gases, liquids, solids, and solutions. Chemical reactions, phase transitions, and electrochemistry.

Advanced chemistry laboratory introducing reactions and techniques not covered in any previous Chemistry laboratory; this may include Organic, Biochemistry, Physical Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry, Polymer Chemistry or Inorganic Chemistry. Pursuit of a special open-ended problem by each student.

First course in the Advanced Chemistry Laboratory sequence. Combined lecture/laboratory survey course that focuses on an understanding and application of instrumental techniques in the areas of analytical, physical, and inorganic chemistry. Topics include: (1) components of spectroscopic instrumentation, (2) atomic spectroscopy (atomic absorption, atomic emission, X-ray methods), and (3) molecular spectroscopy (molecular absorption, molecular luminescence, infrared absorption, Raman scattering).

Second course in the Advanced Chemistry Laboratory sequence. Combined lecture/laboratory survey course that focuses on an understanding and application of other instrumental methods in the areas of analytical, physical, and inorganic chemistry. Topics include: (1) mass spectrometry, (2) magnetic resonance spectrometry, (3) electroanalytical methods, (4) separation methods, and (5) surface characterization methods. Course is comprised of two lecture periods and one lab period per week.

Students gain in-depth practical experience in the comprehensive assessment individual testing instruments, including those used to evaluate cognitive, social-emotional, of assessment, such as transdisciplinary play-based assessment, dynamic assessment, and instruments specifically designed for the evaluation of Autism and other
