Chemistry    1 credit

Prerequisite: Biology

This course is an introduction to chemistry for the college preparatory student. The program is rich in chemical theory. Descriptive chemistry with an emphasis on structure and periodicity of the elements is consistently used to illustrate, clarify and expand the theoretical concepts.  Connections between chemistry and health, the environment and daily living are made.  Basic computational and algebraic skills are mandatory for successful performance on much of the material. Lab archives provide the student with the opportunity to put reading and recitation material to practical application.  A scientific calculator is required.
