Chemistry is an important aspect of the world in which we live. Very little of what we do anymore is not directly dependent upon the field of chemistry. Agriculture, medicine, food processing, engineering, photography, and many other areas depend directly upon the field of chemistry for research and development of new products. Due to the world's dependence upon chemistry, it is important for each individual to have an understanding of its benefits and consequences.

This is a year-long course which is intended to pay particular attention to the chemical nature of the world in which we live. This course deals with material such as classification of matter, structure of matter, gases, solutions, and various types of chemical reactions. Much of the material covered in this course is also reinforced in laboratory work. Due to the dependence of chemistry upon mathematics, as least one year of algebra is required. The course is appropriate for anyone who is college-bound and is also intended for those who will be finishing their science education in high school.
