In this course, students will think critically about the physical processes surrounding matter and energy. They will be asked to apply the principles that guide chemical reactions to real-world scenarios and analyze real-world outcomes. By the end of the course, students will gain the ability to read and use the periodic table to name chemicals, predict properties of elements and chemicals, and predict outcomes of chemical interactions, differentiate among types of chemical reactions, including types of reactants and products involved, possess the ability to balance chemical reactions and compare yields in ideal and actual conditions, develop skills in reading and applying graphs to demonstrate principles like equilibrium and gas laws, and possess the ability to convert amounts based on ratios and conversion factors.
