Course Description

Chemistry is a comprehensive course that covers introductory information about the composition and structure of the physical world. The goals of chemistry are to

• instill in the student a curiosity about matter and its interactions,
• to initiate a lifetime of using an organized, evidence based problem solving approach, and
• to recognize the significance of chemistry to the understanding of all other sciences and its applications to everyday lives and real world situations. 

The chemistry curriculum is designed to develop the students reasoning and analytical skills. Experimental investigations are designed, analyzed, interpreted, applied, and communicated throughout the course.
