A class in basic scientific principles and methods related to chemistry. Emphasis is on developing a molecular level understanding of the world and applying the scientific method to understanding everyday phenomena. Course is designed to introduce future elementary and middle school teachers to the central ideas of chemistry through a series of laboratory experiments, hands-on exercises and discussions. Topics have been chosen to ensure coverage of the content in state and national science education standards. Online class requires purchase of a lab kit from the bookstore. Labs are completed at home on an independent study basis. Letter Grade only.
