Chemistry is the study of substances that make up our world, changes in these substances and the energy needed to bring about these changes. This course gives a broad overview in which students analyze reactions in natural and man-made energy systems, the properties of materials in relation to their structures and the atomic and nuclear structure of matter. The theoretical and experimental nature of science is emphasized through research in printed material and in the laboratory.
Students must be self-motivated, academically responsible, and able to spend considerable time to the daily preparation of this fast-paced class. This course in the physical sciences is a part of college preparation of the student who has demonstrated high aptitude and skills in science, math, reading, and writing.
