Elective - Intro to Chemistry 
Prerequisite: Biology
Course Length: 1 Semester
Grade Level: 11-12
Course Description: This semester-long course introduces students to the fundamental concepts of chemistry. Without the use of traditional laboratory experiments, the course focuses on understanding key chemical principles through theoretical discussions, demonstrations, and virtual activities. Students will explore topics such as atomic structure, chemical bonding, the periodic table, chemical reactions, and the properties of matter. Emphasis will be placed on the practical applications of chemistry in daily life, as well as the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills. By the end of the course, students will have a foundational understanding of chemistry that prepares them for more advanced scientific studies.

And we will definitely blow stuff up 💥 😀


In order to be successful in this class you must:
1. Come to class everyday with a notebook 📒 and pencil and calculator and STAY AWAKE 
2. Do the assigned reading and homework 
3. Participate in labs 🧪 and projects
