Chemistry is the study of the composition and structure of matter and the changes that can occur to the composition and structure of matter. This often involves energy.
It is important to understand chemical concepts in order to make better decisions that impact yourself and your community.
This course is intended for students who wish to attain a Regents science credit, an Advanced Regents diploma and/or the skills needed for college chemistry.
