This is an introductory chemistry course that integrates a variety of instructional methods (e.g., lectures, demonstrations, group work, laboratory exercises, on-line mastery, and projects), which will prepare students for college-level laboratory science classes. The course shows how one observes, classifies, and explains matter and the reactions matter undergoes. The atomic model is explained and developed throughout the year with emphasis on student experiences in the laboratory. Students are expected to own a scientific calculator.
