Course Title

Pre-AP Chemistry

Course Description

Pre-AP Chemistry is designed to prepare students for the complex thinking that will be expected in future science courses. This course will focus on the development of the student as a scientist through the study of chemistry. Being a scientist requires a broad set of tools, including theory, problem solving, written and oral communication, interpreting data and laboratory skills. Areas covered are: Matter, atoms & periodic table, molecules & compounds, chemical reactions & stoichiometry, aqueous solutions & reactions, gases, energy & chemical reactions, atomic & molecular Structure.
