Institution:

Harcum College

Subject:

Description:

This course is the first of a two-semester laboratory course intended for science majors or those wishing to transfer to a four-year college. This theoretical course includes a discussion of the properties of matter, energy, atomic theory, the periodic table, gas laws, bonding, chemical laws, stoichiometry, hybrid orbitals, molecular arrangement, thermochemistry, Quantum Theory, and nuclear particles. A good foundation in math is a must. Assignments will include accessing data from the Internet; presentations; summarizing current journal articles and the use of computerized spreadsheets, graphing techniques and statistical tools. The laboratory component uses an inquiry-based, student-centered approach meaning that students work in teams designing procedures and collecting and presenting data in order to support or reject their previously stated hypotheses. Students will form conclusions based on their experimental data. Students are afforded opportunities to exercise critical thinking and higher cognitive processes. Prerequisites: High School college-preparatory Chemistry and MTH 113 or successful completion of CHE 103. Good working knowledge of algebra, proportions, significant digits, the scientific calculator, the metric system and scientific notation are desirable.
