FBISD Chemistry
At-a-Glance 2014 – 2015
Course Description:
Chemistry includes the study of the structure, composition, and behavior of matter, as well as factors that affect
the interaction of matter. Laboratory investigations enhance the emphasis of process skills and laboratory
safety. Students may apply chemical knowledge to problem solving, classifying matter, quantifying chemicals,
and predicting chemical phenomena. Students use decision making and critical thinking to propose possible
solutions in the study of issues concerning science and technology. Pre-AP/GT Chemistry will include content
and skill development to prepare students for Chemistry AP.
