Chemistry Science or Elective Credit: 1.0 Grade Level: 10 (with pre-approval of instructor), 11,12 Prerequisites: Successful completion of Algebra 1 with a “B” or better This course covers the structure of matter and how it influences physical and chemical reactions, atomic structure, acidbase theory, physical states of matter and principles of inorganic chemistry. Emphasis will be placed on quantitative relationship and problem solving. Basic topics will be illustrated and supplemented by laboratory work. This course relies heavily on math skills and higher order thinking skills. This course is accepted as a University lab science requirement. 36
