chemistry-action
Course Description
This course is
activity and laboratory oriented. It is
designed to meet the needs and interests of students who may be planning to
attend college after graduation, but will not be pursuing a science related career. Students will be involved in qualitative and
quantitative observations and measurements as they learn about the relationship
that exists between science and technology and how it affects their lives. Students will learn about the periodic table
and atomic understanding of how the world around us works, and learning about
the forces at work, at the unobservable level of the atom. This is a course designed for students who
have not completed Chemistry I-1 or Chemistry I-2.
