Course description:
Chemistry is the scientific study of matter and its properties, composition, structure, behavior, and the changes it undergoes during chemical reactions. This course explores the fundamental principles and theories that govern the behavior of atoms, molecules, and compounds. Topics include atomic structure, chemical bonding, reactions, stoichiometry, thermodynamics, and the role of chemistry in everyday life and various scientific disciplines.
Key features:
- Fundamental Concepts: Covering atomic structure, chemical bonding, molecular interactions, and the periodic table.
- Laboratory Experience: Hands-on experiments to understand practical applications and reinforce theoretical concepts.
- Problem-Solving Skills: Developing analytical thinking through solving chemical equations, stoichiometry problems, and quantitative analysis.
- Applications in Real Life: Exploring how chemistry impacts industries, environment, medicine, and everyday products.
- Interdisciplinary Connections: Showing how chemistry integrates with other sciences like biology, physics, and environmental science.
- Ethical and Safety Considerations: Emphasizing safe laboratory practices and ethical considerations in chemical research and applications.
- Critical Thinking and Inquiry: Encouraging students to ask questions, design experiments, and critically evaluate results.
- Interactive Learning: Using simulations, demonstrations, and group activities to engage students in learning.
- Communication Skills: Developing the ability to communicate scientific concepts effectively through reports, presentations, and discussions.
