This course is an in-depth analysis of chemistry topics that applies the concepts of algebra and geometry, as well as lab experiences to understand the composition of matter and the changes it undergoes in this universe. The principles of chemistry are essential to understanding all other sciences, so students will be encouraged to build a deep understanding of topics such as atoms and their structures, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, equilibrium, and thermodynamics. A strong background in mathematics, along with the ability to think critically and abstractly, will enable students to dig deeply into each topic. This understanding will be further developed through hands-on lab experiences, discussions, simulations, and individual projects where students will have the opportunity to explore a topic in greater detail. Emphasis is on the connection between chemical principles and real-world issues such as climate change, ocean acidification, and plastics. This course is appropriate for students who seek a challenge, enjoy applying mathematics to science, and are eager to engage in thoughtful discussions concerning the properties and reactions of matter.
