   Syllabus

Chemistry 103 is designed to introduce the student to important chemical principles in an exploratory hands-on format.  In order to strengthen deductive and inductive thinking skills, a practice will be to investigate a chemical system in the laboratory, record observations and numerical data, attempt to devise logical explanations, then discuss the results and introduce necessary concepts during the class period.

This course is designed to help the student investigate concepts and methodologies common to scientific inquiry. Mastery of the course content will allow the student to

• demonstrate an understanding of  the enduring scientific principles by applying them in interpreting data and solving problems  
• demonstrate an understanding of the chemical nature of the natural world,  
• demonstrate an awareness of the ethical issues in science and the limitations of the field  
• demonstrate an understanding of the interactions between science and society

Through the Laboratory component the student will be able to

• demonstrate an understanding and application of the scientific method,
• demonstrate a proficiency in experimental design and the use of models,  
• record data and observations accurately and draw logical conclusions,  
• evaluate data and conclusions critically, and
