This course will allow you develop a basic understanding of the properties of elements and compounds, as well as the sorts of common chemical reactions they undergo. You will apply mathematical and graphing skills to solve a number of Chemistry-related problems. In addition, you will develop familiarity with the role of Chemistry as it relates to industry, the environment, and to the chemical pathways that occur in living organisms. As Chemistry is an experimental science, this course also places a large emphasis on practical lab skills. You will learn to define research questions, design experiments to answer these questions, and perform lab experiments using a wide range of techniques. In addition, you will develop skills in data analysis and data interpretation. Of particular importance, this course will assist you in improving your skills in the use of technology to solve problems, collect, analyze and graph data (computer simulations, graphing and data analysis programs, data collection using electronic probes and graphing calculators).
