Chemistry Syllabus

†

Course Introduction

†

The study of Chemistry is an important component of a Science education. Chemistry is part of our everyday lives from washing our hair and clothes to choosing how to cook our food.† When we learn about chemical reactions; we can become more informed consumers and more informed stewards of this earth that God has entrusted to us.

†

Course Description

†

This chemistry course is written as an introduction to Chemistry.† This course includes quantitative analysis and an evaluation of our roles within the chemical world. Students will explore the discovery of elements and the components of atoms and molecules. Students will learn how to interpret and write chemical equations to represent and understand chemical reactions.† Nomenclature and stoichiometry will be important components of this introductory course.

†

This is a yearlong course consisting of 13 units.† Upon successful completion students will receive 1 credit towards high school graduation.

Pre-Requisite: Algebra 1; Biology
