Chemistry A 0 Units 60 lecture hours

Catalog description

Principles of chemistry are developed through laboratory observations of physical properties and chemical reactions. The language, formulas, and equations of chemistry are used in interpreting atomic structure, chemical bonding, periodic behavior of elements, rates and energies of chemical and nuclear change, equilibrium of gaseous systems, acids and bases, oxidation-reduction, and organic functional groups. This course format will include activity-based investigations with hands-on activities, concepts, and applications compliant with the adopted California State Science Standards to meet the minimum course requirements for high school graduation.
