Chemistry
Course Overview:
A conceptual course of science involving coursework and laboratory work designed to present chemistry in the light of modern theory. Chemistry includes the study of the composition of matter and its changes, the organization of the elements, and chemical calculations. The student is responsible for having a class notebook, composition notebook with graph paper and a scientific calculator. Prerequisites: Algebra I and Biology, with at least an earned grade of “B” recommended. This class meets seven periods per week for ½ unit of credit each semester.
Textbook (Title and Publishing Company):
