Dr. Mel LeVan
Dr. LeVan earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics and chemistry from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. He earned his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Stanford University. In addition to the classes listed below, Mr. LeVan is teaching A.P. Calculus and Chemistry during the 2006-07 school year.
11-12 grade; Offered as a year-long course
Prerequisites: Pre-Calculus; Teacher recommendation required
This is an introduction to differential and integral calculus. Application is emphasized. Theory and formal proofs are dealt with on an elementary level.
Chemistry
11-12 grade; Offered as a year-long course
Prerequisites: Core Plus Math I with a "C" or better
This is the study of how matter (just about everything around you) behaves. In this year-long course we will learn how atoms combine to produce different molecules. Emphasis is placed on bonding, chemical reactions, periodic properties and chemical quantities. These topics are explored through lab activities and class discussion. Weekly labs reinforce classroom study. The last month of class is spent exclusively in the lab identifying unknown mixtures using qualitative analysis. This course is essential for students who plan to study science or enter a health-related career field.
