Chemistry is an inquiry-based science course with an emphasis on student-designed laboratory investigations. Through a thematic approach that demonstrates relevant chemical applications, students recognize and understand the importance of chemistry, develop problem-solving strategies, and apply critical thinking skills. Throughout the course, students are challenged to design experiments to answer questions about chemistry. The course content is developed to answer specific questions about the theme for each unit, allowing students to answer questions and learn in the same manner as a scientist.

This course is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
