Program Outcomes for College of EDUCATION

Course Description : This course provides the students with a strong foundation and understanding of the natural sciences in their
everyday lives with inorganic chemistry as the central focus. It includes topics as philosophico-historical
foundation and branches of chemistry, significant figures, scientific notation, measurements, matter and energy, the
atomic and molecular structures of elements and inorganic compounds, their properties, the changes or reactions
they undergo, and their applications and importance in the fields of chemistry education, technology, engineering,
agriculture, industry, health sciences and the like.
Course Learning Outcomes:
Knowledge
 Define Inorganic Chemistry;
 Apply clear and logical analytical thinking skills by explaining everyday phenomena on the molecular level and
performing chemical arithmetic;
 Identify the general properties of matter and some physical and chemical transformations.
Skills
 Draw, name, and classify simple molecules according to chemical class and reactivity;
 Report on the chemical bases and effects of industries significant to the Philippine setting;
 Relate chemistry to own community or chosen career.
Values
Appreciate the role played by inorganic chemistry in the fields of chemistry education, technology, engineering,
