Hi,

I would like to hear from some Ky high school chemistry
teachers. How much of your time is spent on core content?
I think that the majority of the core content would be
covered in freshman science (introduction to
chemistry/physics) and biology. The chemistry class should
reinforce chemical reactions/atomic structure and continue
to provide inquiry/measurment/process instruction.

If I cover only what the very basics on the CATS test,
students will be woefully unprepared to enter any type of
pre-professional, pre-engineering, or science major in
college (and nursing, and dental hygiene).

How do you handle this?
