Chemistry I

Chemistry I is designed to provide students with a detailed understanding of the interaction of matter and energy. This interaction is investigated through the use of laboratory techniques, manipulation of chemical quantities, and problem-solving applications. Scientific methodology is employed in the experimental and analytical investigations and concepts are illustrated with practical applications. Students understand and use safety precautions with chemicals and equipment. The objectives emphasize qualitative and quantitative study of substances and the changes that occur in them. In meeting the chemistry SOLs, students are encouraged to share their ideas, the use of language in chemistry, discuss problem-solving techniques, and communicate effectively
