Chemistry is designed to provide students with a foundational understanding of chemical principles and the skills necessary for success in college-level science courses. Major topics include atomic structure, chemical bonding, reactions, states of matter, and solutions. The course emphasizes both theoretical concepts and practical application through problem solving and hands-on laboratory investigations. Students will develop critical thinking and analytical skills by applying chemistry concepts to real-world situations. This course is particularly suited for students planning to attend college who are required to complete a lab-based science course.
Prerequisites for this course include the student either being concurrently enrolled in or having successfully completed Algebra II.
