Chemistry is a course that explores the properties of substances
and the
changes that substances undergo. The student will investigate
the following:
Atomic Structure --------------------------------------- Chapters 3-7,
22
Matter and Energy --------------------------------- Chapters
1-3, 8, 10, 13, 17
Interactions of Matter ------------------------------ Chapters
1-3, 6-11
Properties of Solutions and Acids and Bases ------ Chapters 7, 13-16
Students should explore chemistry through inquiry, hands-on
laboratory investigations, individual studies and group activities.
The student's experiences in chemistry should enable them to understand
the role of chemistry in their lives by investigating substances
that occur in nature, in living organisms and those that are created
by humans. Their study should include both qualitative and quantitative
descriptions of matter and the changes that matter undergo. Students
should practice the necessary precautions for performing safe
inquiries and activities and appreciate the risks and benefits
of producing and using chemical substances.
