Newman Chemistry Course Resources

Chemistry is the study of matter. Primary emphasis will be placed on understanding the atomic theory of matter, the periodic table, and applying chemical knowledge to the world around us. This course uses the science skills and basic chemistry from Fundamentals of Science and examples from the field of biology to explain how matter acts and interacts. Lab experiments, technical reading and writing, and investigation skills are important learning processes developed in this course. We will spend a great deal of time working with dimensional analysis mathematics. A background in chemistry and the study skills taught in this course are important for those planning to attend a four year college. Students entering this course should have a basic understanding of algebra and geometry.
