Chemistry
This course delves into the fundamental study of matter and its changes, examining its composition, properties, and transformations. The curriculum covers the structure and properties of Matter, chemical quantities, reactions, and nuclear processes. This comprehensive course provides the analytical and quantitative skills necessary for advanced science and engineering fields.
Key Topics
- Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table
- Chemical Bonding
- Chemical Reactions and Stoichiometry
- Reactions in Solutions and Gases
- Ideal Gas Law and Thermodynamics
- Nuclear Chemistry and Radioactive Decay
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion, students will be able to describe the nature of the physical sciences, predict the structures and properties of various compounds, and perform scientific calculations. They will analyze substances to determine composition, describe gas behavior, relate macroscopic properties to molecular structures, and explain how atoms are changed by nuclear processes.
Grade Level
- High School (Grades 9–12)
Audience
Students who need a foundation in physical science, students preparing for advanced science or engineering college studies, and students seeking to develop essential scientific inquiry and quantitative reasoning skills.
