Course description

In this first of two courses that comprise Chemistry; the student will explore the fundamental concepts of chemistry as specified in the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS); while engaging in hands-on and virtual lab experiments; and interdisciplinary problem-solving activities.†

The student will build on prior knowledge to learn how to model the structure of an atom; analyze the periodic table of elements; represent and interpret reactions between atoms and molecules; and perform calculations to solve problems in chemistry. The course provides many opportunities for the student to apply these concepts to real-world situations.

Throughout the course; the student will engage in activities to encourage critical thinking; including exploring an increased complexity of conceptual relationships.
