Welcome to the Principles of Inorganic Chemistry 1 Teaching course. Chemistry is the study of matter and its changes. This means that chemistry is the study of everything. This course will focus on atomic structure, compounds and their properties, reactions, and stoichiometric changes, states of matter, and end with energy changes. This is the first of a two course series in chemistry. The second course will cover topics including reaction rate and equilibrium, solution chemistry, and acidic and basic solutions.

This is a content and pedagogy course. This course incorporates the Utah SEEd Standards which include NGSS science practices , crosscutting concepts and disciplinary core ideas.  Lesson plan creation is part of the course.  Emphasis is on best practices used to teach this content in your classroom.
