Chemistry is a science elective or can be used as a required course.
Chemistry is the study of the composition of matter and the changes that matter undergoes. Because living and nonliving things are made of matter, chemistry affects all aspects of life and most natural events. Chemistry can be useful in explaining the natural world, preparing people for career opportunities, and producing informed citizens. Students should have a strong mathematics background. In chemistry problem solving is an important set of skills that students must learn and develop through practice.
