Chemistry is a required class for the recommended and distinquished graduation plans which correlate the state TEKS with the study of the concepts of Chemistry. Students learn chemical principles through problem-solving, computer applications, and laboratory experimentation. Laboratory experiences are a regular part of the program and tie the instruction into real world applications. Safe laboratory practices, understanding of safe storage, and proper use of chemicals make the course both challenging and practical. A strong math background and high level reasoning skills are necessary for successful completion of this course. Mathematics is used throughout the course as the students balance equations, convert units, and solve problems. Successful completion of this course provides a solid foundation in Chemistry.
