CHEM 1010Introductory Chemistry PS3
Typically Offered: Fall, Spring Lecture hours: 3 General Ed Requirement: Physical Science This course introduces individuals to a variety of chemistry-related knowledge and experience and is designed to give non-majors a glimpse at chemistry and how it relates to the world around them. As a general education course, it relates chemistry to the real world experience and gives the student an opportunity to investigate chemical principles in their life. It gives the student a feeling for how scientists view problems and the systematic method by which they solve them. Discussion topics are chosen from physical, organic, and biological areas inside the chemistry field.

Typically Offered: Fall, Spring Lab hours: 2 This is a hands-on laboratory experience that accompanies the CHEM 1010 course. It is designed to give students a feel for basic laboratory equipment and measurement. It also provides reinforcement of the concepts covered in the class. The lab also enables students to visualize many concepts and experiments discussed in class.
Lecture hours: 3 General Ed Requirement: Physical Science In this course, students will explore the chemical principles that underpin great cooking; specifically, this course will focus on the chemistry of salt, fat, acid, and heat. Students will explore the principles that drive flavor, texture, and aroma by learning chemistry concepts, conducting scientifically rigorous food chemistry experiments, crafting evidence- based arguments, and presenting their findings in scientific ways.
Typically Offered: Fall, Spring Lecture hours: 3 General Ed Requirement: Physical Science What's your favorite color? This course will explore how light and atoms and molecules interact to create the colors that brighten our lives. This no-math-prerequiste General Education physical science course is for anyone who loves colors and has wondered about where they come from. There is no co-requisite lab component; some class sessions will have hands-on activities. Snow College Catalog 2026-2027 65
Typically Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer Lecture hours: 4 General Ed Requirement: Physical Science This course introduces individuals to a variety of chemistry-related knowledge and experience. As a general education course, it relates chemistry to the real-world experience and gives the student an opportunity to investigate chemical principles in their life. The course serves as a prerequisite to programs related to allied health such as nursing, economics, biology, natural resources, and others. The course also serves as a preparatory course for general chemistry. Some topics in the course are atomic structure, chemical calculations, energy and matter, gas laws, nuclear chemistry and an introduction to organic chemistry. or MATH 1050 or MATH 1080 or ACT Math Score with a score of 21 or SAT Mathematics with a score of 560 or ALEKS PPL Math Placement with a score of 30
Typically Offered: Fall, Spring, Summer Lab hours: 2 This is a general inorganic and organic chemistry laboratory which reinforces the fundamental facts, theories and laws of chemistry through laboratory experiences. (It is designed for students in home economics, nursing, physical therapy, some areas of biology, forestry and agriculture, as well as other related health sciences.) Concurrent enrollment in CHEM 1110 is required. A lab fee is required for non-online sections.
Typically Offered: Spring Lecture hours: 4 This is the second semester course of a General Organic and Biochemistry sequence. It completes an introduction to organic chemistry and covers elementary biochemistry. It includes the study of alcohols, aldehydes, carboxylic acids and derivatives. Also included are topics of: stereochemistry, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, enzymes, and metabolism. Students taking this course are typically pursuing majors that may include home economics, agricultural sciences, physical therapy, nursing, and other related health sciences.
Typically Offered: Spring Lab hours: 2 This is an organic and biochemistry laboratory which reinforces the fundamental facts, theories, and laws of chemistry through laboratory experiences. It is designed for students in family and consumer science, nursing, physical therapy, some areas of biology, forestry and agriculture. Lab fee required.
Lecture hours: 4 General Ed Requirement: Physical Science This course is designed to teach chemical theory and principles as they are applied to present day chemistry. Topics covered in this course include atomic theory, gas laws, thermochemistry, molecular bonding, reaction chemistry, etc. This course is for students majoring in programs such as chemistry, physics, geology, biology, engineering, and pre-medical areas who will take additional chemistry courses. (may be taken concurrently) or MATH 1080 (may be taken concurrently) or MATH 1210 (may be taken concurrently) or ACT Math Score with a score of 26 or SAT Mathematics with a score of 610
Lecture hours: 4 General Ed Requirement: Physical Science This course is a continuation of CHEM 1210. The principles of equilibrium, kinetics, thermodynamics, and solution chemistry are applied to present-day chemistry. This course is for students in the natural sciences such as Chemistry, Physics, Biology, engineering, and Pre- medical areas who will take additional chemistry courses.
Lab hours: 3 This course is designed to give students experience with lab experiments related to kinetics, acid-base chemistry, qualitative analysis, electrochemistry, polymers, and introduce basic synthesis techniques and crystal field theory. (Lab fee required)
Lecture hours: 3 General Ed Requirement: Physical Science This course will introduce students to modern criminal investigative techniques. Students will learn about the capabilities, use, potential, and limitations of forensic laboratory theory and techniques in respect to the analysis of evidence. Topics include evidence collection, serology, DNA analysis, fingerprint analysis, and chemical analysis of physical evidence.
Lab hours: 2 This course is designed to give students experience with lab experiments related to evidence collection, serology, DNA analysis, fingerprint analysis, and chemical analysis of physical evidence. (Lab fee required)
Typically Offered: Fall Lecture hours: 4 This course is the first semester of a full-year series in organic chemistry, which is the study of the structures and properties of compounds primarily composed of carbon and hydrogen. Reactivity is studied in the context of mechanism patterns associated with functional groups, with emphasis on synthesis and biochemical applications. This course is required for all chemistry-centered majors, most pre-professional programs, and many life science majors, and is commonly taken in the second year of study.
Typically Offered: Fall Lab hours: 3 This lab course is designed for pre-professional majors as well as chemistry majors. The laboratory experience reinforces the principles of organic chemistry by teaching foundational techniques and simple synthesis reactions. (Lab fee required)

Reactivity is studied in the context of mechanism patterns associated with functional groups, with emphasis on synthesis and biochemical applications. This course is required for all chemistry-centered majors, most pre- professional programs, many life science majors, and is commonly taken in the second year of study.
Lab hours: 3 This lab course is designed for pre-professional majors as well as chemistry majors. The laboratory experience reinforces the principles of organic chemistry by teaching foundational techniques and simple synthesis reactions. (Lab fee required)
Lecture hours: 1 Lab hours: 2 This course provides an opportunity for students to apply knowledge and techniques learned in classroom settings to actual research experience. No more than six students will assist one faculty member in that person's research. Students will receive faculty direction for at least one hour per week and lab research participation will usually range from two to four hours weekly. A short summary will be required to be presented to a small, in-lab seminar of interested students and faculty at the end of the semester.
Lecture hours: 1 to 3 This course provides an in-depth study of a particular topic in chemistry. The topic changes each semester and can vary between sections. These courses are designed for students wanting additional study beyond the standard lower-division courses in the discipline. These courses have variable credits, from one to three, and are repeatable.
