Chemistry District Syllabus State Course Description and Recommended Prerequisites	Course Description: This course allows students to study the composition, structure, and properties of matter and the changes they undergo. Students will study periodic trends of elements, bonding, formulas, equations, stoichiometry, gas laws, solutions, acids and bases, kinetics, thermodynamics, redox reactions and electrochemistry. A major goal of the course is to develop in students an appreciation and understanding of the complex structure and behavior of the world around them and to help students develop the ability to evaluate the complexity of science and technological issues. This course involves the use of advanced mathematical and reasoning skills. Course Prerequisites: Algebra I Algebra II concurrently (or teacher recommendation), Physical Science Textbook: Modern Chemistry, Holt, Rhinehard, and Winston, 1995				Periodic Table ChemFinder Chemistry WebBook Wilton High Chemistry Web Resources ChemTeam High School Chem Hub
