Course Description:
A college preparatory physical science course with an emphasis on the Next Generation Science Standards
(NGSS). The following topics will be developed both qualitatively and quantitatively: matter and change,
atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical bonding, chemical compounds, gases, liquids and solids,
solutions, scientific measures, chemical reactions, acids and bases, and nuclear chemistry. Laboratory
investigations are central to the development of the content. The course is intended for students with a
strong math background and good problem solving skills. Chemistry 335 provides a firm foundation for
further work in science. It is strongly recommended that students taking this class have completed or be
enrolled in Algebra II.
