ELEMENTARY EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

SCI 103 Inorganic Chemistry (Lecture)
Name of Faculty: LESTER E. ORPILLA

Schedule: MTTHF : 2:00 3:00 PM

BEEd III A & B

A. Course Description
The course primarily deals with the fundamental aspects of general and inorganic
chemistry. It covers the basic laws and principles governing the composition,
structure, properties and changes that matter undergoes dealing more on the
inorganic and not on organic matter constituents of the universe. The course also
deals with basic computations and unit conversions as well as providing cognitive
abilities, psychomotor skills and value formation while understanding aspects of
chemical equations and solutions.
B. Course Objectives
At the end of the course, the student is able to:
1. discuss how matter works in the universe focusing on the composition,
properties, structure and its transformations together with the principles
that governs all these given aspects;
2. apply measurement conversions and computations, name and write
chemical equations and perform stoichiometric analysis to enhance
their capacity of understanding chemistry and the subjects practical
utilization to our daily life;
3. identify the importance of understanding the core concepts of
chemistry such as its uses at home, at school, for survival and for
improving the lives of the majority of people throughout the globe
