This is a chemistry course intended to meet the needs of students entering the work force or a 2-year college. This course is not intended to meet admission requirements for a 4-year college. This chemistry course looks at matter on the submicroscopic scale as well as the macroscopic scale. It will introduce you to the modern science of the atom and will investigate the relationships between the structure of atoms and properties and reactions of matter.
This course uses the laboratory to develop concepts, solve real problems, and investigate types of chemical reactions. You will maintain a laboratory notebook to record all of your lab work. You’ll practice making accurate observations, recording and analyzing data, and writing conclusions. You’ll also learn to write formulas for chemical compounds, write equations for chemical reactions, and solve chemical problems.
