Objective
You can solve kinematic problems with Newtonian mechanics and with the energy principle. You learn to calculate collisions and you understand what the conservation of energy, linear momentum and angular momentum mean in daily life. You know the atomic structure and chemical bonds. You are able to describe and identify common inorganic compounds as well as the groups and structures of organic compounds. You can write basic chemical equations, solve problems dealing with solutions, gases, pH, and amounts of substances needed for reactions. You master the basic principles of laboratory work. You can apply theoretical knowledge to practice and write a report on experiments.
Content
How can you predict how objects move? Does the car stop before the pedestrian on the road? What is a closed system, and how is the energy conservation principle used to solve problems? What are the basic chemical quantities, units, definitions and natural laws? How is matter constructed? What happens when a chemical reaction occurs? How are chemical compounds divided into groups and how are they named? What are the properties of chemical substances?
