Description

Objective:

The course objective is a to be a standalone addition to the General Chemistry course. Students will complete at home laboratory experiments, track and record results and take lab-based assessments to meet the lab requirement. The labs are provided by eScience Labs, a leading provider of at home lab kits and supplemental online materials. This course will give the student a solid foundation for further study into laboratory sciences.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Describe the steps of the scientific method and their application in experimentation
  • Define chemical terminology including atoms, molecules, elements, and compounds
  • Construct Lewis structures and apply the VSEPR model to predict molecular geometry
  • Calculate quantities in chemical reactions using stoichiometry
  • Convert between mass, moles, atoms, and molecules using the mole concept.
  • Apply gas laws to explain the behavior of gases in different conditions
  • Identify patterns in the periodic table and classify elements based on their properties
  • Classify substances by their physical states and explain their behavior
  • Solve problems using scientific notation, unit conversions, and formulas
  • Interpret data using graphs, equations, and laboratory observations

General Topics:

  • Checkpoint 1: Getting Started Checkpoint 2: Lab Safety Capstone 1: Lab Inventory Kit Capstone 2: Molecular Modeling and Lewis Structures Capstone 3: Stoichiometry of a Precipitation Reaction Capstone 4: The Mole: Conversions, Mass, Determination, and Hydrates Capstone 5: Ideal Gas Law Capstone 6: Introduction to the Periodic Table Capstone 7: Karyotyping Capstone 8: Math and Graphing Prep
