Chemistry is the study of matter, all of the elements that compose it, and all of the

reactions it can undergo. The course includes units on the math of chemistry, gas laws, matter

and energy, atomic and molecular structure, bonding, kinetics/equilibrium, acids and bases,

redox and electrochemistry, and organic chemistry. A major emphasis of this course is to

discuss chemistry as a science and to help students develop scientific literacy in chemistry. Of

equal importance though, is to increase students’ excitement and interest in chemistry. To that

end, a number of different teaching strategies are employed allowing students to learn by

becoming actively involved in the class.
