SCIE 130 - General Chemistry I

This course develops chemistry concepts in the greater framework of societal and technological issues such as air and water pollution, global warming, acid rain, and energy resources. These topics will each underscore a more classical chemistry topic such as the periodic table, the makeup and behavior of atoms and molecules, chemical bonding, chemical equations, stoichiometry chemical reactions, and changes of state. Both class discussion and laboratory experimentation are designed to help students learn, apply, and experience chemistry as a practical science that is relevant to everyday life. Course, includes two laboratory hours per week.
