Chemistry is the study of matter. Through the use of laboratory experiments and
mathematics, the students will investigate topics such as atomic structure, quantum theory, heat flow, and the properties, behavior, and bonding of elements, compounds, gases, liquids, and solids. Metrics and dimensional analysis will be stressed in solving problems involving unit conversion, formula weight, moles, % composition, and stoichiometry. Emphasis is placed on developing reasoning skills and powers of observation. Prerequisites: Biology, Algebra I (C or higher). (This course fulfills a physical science requirement.) Fee: $20.00.
