(Standard)

Course No. SCCQA

Semesters: 2; Credits: 1

Prerequisite: Algebra I

In Chemistry, students conduct laboratory and field investigations, use scientific methods during investigations, and make informed decisions using critical thinking and scientific problem solving. Students study a variety of topics that include characteristics of matter, use of Periodic Table, development of atomic theory and chemical bonding, chemical stoichiometry, gas laws, solution chemistry, thermochemistry, and nuclear chemistry. Students will investigate how chemistry is an integral part of our daily lives. Topics covered in Chemistry Pre-AP are more in-depth and involve a more mathematical approach than regular Chemistry. mphasis is placed on individual study and problem solving.
