Welcome to Chemistry 1

Prerequisite: Biology or Integrated Physics and Chemistry and concurrent enrollment in Algebra II recommended. Chemistry includes the study of the structure, composition and behavior of matter, as well as factors that affect the interaction of matter. Laboratory investigations enhance the emphasis of process skills and laboratory safety. Students may apply chemical knowledge to problem solving, classifying matter, quantifying chemicals, and predicting chemical phenomena. Students use decision making and critical thinking to propose possible solutions in the study of issues concerning science and technology.
