This one-trimester elective is designed to give you a brief introduction to the study of chemistry, and to prepare you for future chemistry classes at WHS and beyond. The class will enhance your basic knowledge of chemistry and provide practice in unit conversion, balancing equations, naming chemical compounds, and more. Experiments with chemical reactions will be performed throughout the trimester, and you are expected to follow all lab rules at all times to maintain a safe and productive learning environment.
