IB Chemistry 7 HL Semester Overview

Course Number: SC.IBCH7HL

Overview
Chemistry is a science concerned with the study of the materials of our environment, their properties, and the way in which they react with each other. As there is no other way of "questioning" a physical or chemical system but that of performing experiments on it, chemistry is a discipline which rests firmly on the practical. The laboratory work will have a direct bearing upon the student's growing body of descriptive and theoretical chemistry. Through such an approach the student should gain factual knowledge drawn from the whole field of chemistry, and at the same time be able to correlate and unify this knowledge in terms of the most important underlying principles and concepts. Higher level chemistry is designed for the student who will pursue more advanced chemistry at the college or university level.
