Chemistry is the central science that explains everything from the air we breathe to the food we eat.

This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts of matter, its structure, and transformations. Through interactive lessons, hands-on experiments, and real-life examples, learners will understand how substances combine, react, and form the world around us.

Course Objectives

Understand the composition, structure, and properties of matter.
Learn how elements form compounds through chemical bonding.
Explore common types of chemical reactions.
Understand acids, bases, salts, and their uses.
Apply chemistry knowledge to real-world problems and experiments.
