Chemistry 1
Understanding the world of chemistry is necessary to make informed decisions as scientifically literate citizens. Chemistry 1 introduces students to the basic concepts, which explain chemical behavior and to the idea that science is a process and a way of thinking rather than a mere collection of facts. Students learn how scientists acquire and then verify facts about their physical surroundings, and how they explain those facts by constructing theories. Essential topics covered include atomic structure, chemical reactions and mechanisms, conservation of matter and energy, bonding, acid-base behavior, electrochemistry, organic and nuclear chemistry. Fundamental chemical concepts as well as basic problem solving are emphasized. Through laboratory investigations and classroom demonstrations, students realize that chemistry is not confined to a textbook, but is part of their everyday world.
