From the chemistry of living life to running your car, chemistry is integral to our everyday lives. (More)

From the chemistry of living life to running your car, chemistry is integral to our everyday lives. This course is an introduction to the basic principles of chemistry as they apply to our everyday lives and how science can solve real-world problems. You’ll learn how chemistry is used to improve the world around us. You’ll examine alternative fuels, the biochemistry of food, and the environment. The course includes the metric system, atoms, bonding, everyday chemical reactions, nuclear chemistry, inorganic chemistry and biochemistry. You will learn the process and value of science in our society. The course is designed to fulfill a GE physical science course, specifically chemistry, for the non-science major. This course is suitable for students who have little or no background in chemistry. This course is not recommended for science majors or students interested in allied health careers.
