Introduction to Lab Science (Chemistry):  This course is designed to provide a working foundation as a prerequisite for Chemistry.  Student will be exposed to the specific math, science processes, and lab knowledge required to actively participate in our Chemistry course. There is no assigned textbook for this course, which means most of the work will be done in class with little of no homework being sent home. Students will be graded on successful completion of all class activities. We will be concentrating on the scientific method with worksheets, lecture notes, and lab activities.   In addition we will be working on math in science (significant figures, rounding, dimensional analysis, etc.).
