C hem Tips!
1. Keep a separate notebook for Chem 2.
2. Secure your own lab gown and goggles
(No lab gown, no experiment).
3. Have your own calculator.
4. Make sure you have the Chem 2
textbooks.
5. Read the topics in advance.
6. Take notes in class and from your
readings.
7. Practice on assigned problems.
8. Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any
questions.
9. For lab activities, read the procedure in
advance.
10. Practice safe handling of chemicals and
materials in the lab
11. Have fun!!!
Course Description
Philippine Science High School
Chemistry 2 aims to provide a firm Main Campus
foundation in chemical concepts and principles. It
enhances student skills in problem solving and
critical thinking through topics like chemical
reactions and equations; liquids, solids, and
gases; solutions, thermochemistry, chemical
kinetics, and organic chemistry. The chemistry
Chemistry
laboratory provides an opportunity for the
students to refine their manipulative skills in
handling laboratory processes and equipment.
