Chemistry

In this course students conduct laboratory and fieldwork investigations using scientific methods to make informed decisions. Students make informed decisions using critical thinking and problem solving skills. Students study a variety of topics: matter, energy, atomic structure, the periodic table, gases, bonding, nuclear reactions, solutions, acids and bases, chemical and physical changes and chemical reactions. Students study chemistry as a part of life and how it relates to other processes. This course is for those college-bound students preparing for non-science-related careers. This is a two semester course.
