High School Basic Chemistry with Lab. 1 credit hour

This class will be weekly with a second hour for labs every other week.

We'll be looking at God's creation and the elements that make up that creation. We'll get to know the periodic table, the Atomic Theory, study stoichiometry, the mole, matter, acids and bases, and more.

Some math will be involved throughout the year. Efforts will be made to ensure that students have a grasp on the math concepts. Basic Algebra would be a good basis, but is NOT required before taking the class.
