Principles, Calculations & Labs
Prerequisite: Completion of Algebra I or Integrated Math 1.
Throughout this course, daily anchor laboratory activities and discussions will focus on how chemists describe matter and its changes within the context of chemistry fundamentals. Students will develop their writing skills, reading comprehension, and critical thinking through lab write-ups, daily news readings, and innovative group projects. Lab work will require the application of algebra to solve problems; a strong math background is highly recommended. This course provides a grounding in scientific principles equivalent to first-semester high school chemistry curriculum.
Grade requirement: For students completing Grade 8 and up.
Self-study and homework required:
3-6 hours per class meeting.
