FULL YEAR – 1 CREDIT
Course Description:
This is a lab-oriented course, emphasizing the chemistry of everyday life. Successful completion of this course
will meet the needs of students who do not plan on a science-related career, after high school. (Examples of
science-related jobs this course will qualify one to pursue are nurse’s aide and vet tech.) Topics will include
atomic structure, compounds, reactions, gases, bonding, solutions, acids, bases, and nuclear chemistry. Lab
activities will be done to support concepts being studied. Basic arithmetic skills will be used in solving problems.
A research paper or project may be required. In this course, students will study materials contained in the
following content standards: Science and Technology: A, B, C, D3.
Criteria for Acceptance in the course:
Has taken physical science and biology
Recommendation of teacher
