BJ LINC Chemistry
BJ LINC Chemistry Course Description
| Basic Chemistry strikes a balance between theoretical chemistry and descriptive chemistry, leaning more toward the theoretical end of the spectrum. Students will develop a clear understanding of atomic theory. Kinetics, thermodynamics, and stoichiometric relationships are also emphasized. It is the goal of this course to apply central concepts consistently so that students develop a unified, logical understanding of chemistry without becoming intimidated by a mass of complex information. Students will observe, classify, measure, hypothesize, organize, calculate, formulate models, interpret data, test hypotheses, and predict results on their own. It is our goal to develop an appreciation of God’s creation through the observation of the order and complexity found in nature. The course is designed in such a way as to spark the interest of those who consider themselves to be “non-science” people. Basic laboratory skills will be developed through the use of basic equipment in non-threatening, safe, experimental procedures that will require minimal on-site facilities. The course will also suggest a variety of occupational opportunities in chemistry, with a special emphasis on opportunities for Christian service. Approximately 20% of the course will be demonstration or student-performed laboratory experiences. |  |
