SCI1100: Chemistry

05/01/2023 to 04/30/2024 • Modified 10/11/2023

Course Description

This full-year course provides an overview of the atom and the molecular-level properties and interactions in the created world. Students learn the properties of matter, atomic structure, and basic atomic bonding and then apply this understanding to the mathematical and conceptual groundwork of more complex molecular interactions. Emphasis is placed on student analysis and critical thinking related to scientific investigations, demonstrations, and lab exercises. Students are exposed to the perfection and order of God’s creation as they investigate the laws and patterns that govern chemistry in the natural world.
