Learning Objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to: 1. Use the periodic table and apply atomic theory to discuss and solve problems concerning atomic and molecular structure, ionic and covalent bonding, chemical composition, molecular shape and properties in order to explain natural phenomenon such as boiling/melting points, acidity/basicity, density, carbon-dating, combustion, dissolution, phase changes 2. Make and quantify observations in an organized matter and apply quantitative problem solving techniques to both collected and supplied data to determine chemical composition, identity and properties 3. Demonstrate a beginning ability to critically analyze chemical data, problems, and claims. 4. Demonstrate and use proper lab techniques to collect and analyze a variety of chemical properties and processes and to investigate chemical phenomenon such as phase changes, chemical equilibria, solution pH, etc 5. Propose evidence-based solutions to chemical questions and problems 6. Explore real-life situations and phenomenon to apply and demonstrate chemical concepts, the nature of chemical compounds and the elements that comprise them 7. Couple observational skills and laboratory techniques in order to describe the interactions both among chemicals and with their environment. 8. Collect and interpret data, and generate valid conclusions using chemical vocabulary, the scientific method and modern atomic and bonding theories. Required Materials: Technical Requirements: |
