This introductory chemistry course includes topics such as matter and energy, the atomic theory, electron clouds and probability, the periodic table, chemical bonding, chemical formulas, and balancing equations. This course has few mathematical computations and includes several virtual lab demonstrations. This is the first half of a two-part General Chemistry series. This course also encompasses Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
This course uses our Knowledge, Skills, and Attributes (KSA) model to give students the opportunity to develop both real-world 21st Century Skills and Social and Emotional Learning Soft Skills to develop college and career readiness.
- Knowledge: Chemistry, Part 1
- Skill: Creativity—Openness and Courage to Explore
