Discovering Design with Chemistry is a comprehensive high school chemistry course designed for students who have completed Algebra 1. The course contains 46 separate experiments that illustrate various concepts and shows how chemistry reveals the amazing design that exists all around us. Discovering Design with Chemistry is a high school chemistry course designed for students who have completed Algebra 1. (Unless you are using this course with someone else and they have the Answer Key and Tests manual you may want to order the set not just the textbook.) This independent-study, college-preparatory course covers fundamental aspects of chemistry such as the classification of matter, atomic structure, spectroscopy, chemical bonding, molecular geometry, physical change, chemical change, stoichiometry, solutions, ideal gases, acid/base chemistry, reduction/oxidation reactions, thermochemistry, thermodynamics, kinetics, and chemical equilibrium. Weaving together concepts and their mathematical applications, the course teaches students how to think as a chemist so they can analyze the major changes that occur in matter.…
