Sophia Learning’s Introduction to Chemistry course covers the basic principles of general chemistry for students not majoring in a STEM discipline. In this course, you will learn to describe chemical principles and apply them to your daily life. You’ll also learn to relate the macroscopic world (what you see) to the microscopic world where chemistry takes place. Finally, you will explore different branches of chemistry and their applications, including atmospheric chemistry, biochemistry, environmental chemistry, and organic chemistry. It's recommended that you complete this course simultaneously with the accompanying Introduction to Chemistry Lab course for the best experience. Please plan ahead. While you can take as many Sophia courses as you’d like each month with your membership, you are only allowed to be active in two courses at a time. Taking this lecture course along with the lab course will occupy your two-course limit.
