Timeline: Full Year; 5 Credits

Course Description: This class focuses on the subatomic level and how interactions within this realm produce global change. The students will learn what matter is composed of and its interactions with everything we see, feel, and hear. By delving into the invisible world of chemistry, students will get a glimpse backstage into the wondrous universe. From nuclear to trends, this course will provide an enriching educational experience for all.
