Welcome to Standard Chemistry! Chemistry is the study of the interaction of matter.
Students who sign up for this course are usually interested in science and are planning to further their education in science. We will be spending approximately one week preparing to do safe laboratory work by learning the safety rules, signing a safety contract, and learning the names of the equipment we will be using. During that first week we ill be testing the eyewash fountain and the safety shower.
During the semester we will be using the System International for all measurements and calculations. Remember that no number has any value without a unit. You might have 200.000 but of what, dollars or insects.
With each chapter we will be completing a laboratory exercise based on the theory learned. The syllabus for the course follows.
Extensive laboratory safety section including a safety contact to be signed by students and parents.
