About this course

This course is designed to prepare students for the first semester of General Chemistry. The course will consist of two major parts, the first of which will focus on the mathematical skills and problem solving that are fundamental to the deeper understanding of chemical concepts. The second part of the course will focus on the application of problem-solving techniques with basic chemical concepts such as atomic structure and isotopes, balancing chemical equations, and stoichiometry. Once they have mastered these proficiencies, students will have a strong foundation in the skills necessary to succeed in higher level chemistry courses. Although the course does meet the Natural Science Core Requirement for MCAS, students will only be granted permission to take the course based on their desire to continue on with the Chemistry curriculum.
