Course Offerings

CHEM 127Q - General Chemistry

• Either semester. Must be taken before Chemistry 128. May not be taken concurrently with Chemistry 128. Four credits. Three class periods and one 3-hour laboratory period.
• This course is designed to provide a foundation for more advanced courses in chemistry. The topics covered include the atomic theory, the laws and theories concerning the physical and chemical behavior of gases, liquids, solids, and solutions. The properties of some of the more familiar elements and their compounds are discussed. The laboratory work in the first semester involves quantitative measurements illustrating the laws of chemical combination. In the second semester particular attention is given to equilibrium in solutions and to the qualitative reactions of the common cations and anions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Instrcutor Certification in Chemistry

• Q: What are the minimum requirements for instructor certification in Chemistry?
• A: The minimum degree requirement for instructors wishing to teach UConn Early College Experience chemistry courses is a Bachelor's of Science in Chemistry. A candidate with a Master's in Education and a sufficiently strong and well balanced chemistry background may be considered. Candidates must have taken Inorganic, Organic, and Physical chemistry courses. Interviews will be conducted before certification. NOTE: Chemistry cannot be taught at a high school that runs on a Block Schedule.

  The University's Chemistry Department will provide examinations, laboratory assignments, and other resources to participating teachers.
