What is ChemCom?
Designed for a year-long high school chemistry course geared for college-bound students, ChemCom covers traditional chemistry topics with coverage organized around societal issues. With this program, students learn more organic and biochemistry as well as environmental and industrial chemistry. The text is 50% laboratory-based, with lab activities are fully integrated within context, not separate from the reading. ChemCom features decision-making activities to give students practice in applying their chemistry knowledge in various problem-solving situations. This text clearly addresses the fundamental concepts and principles found in the National Science Education Standards. Correlations are available showing how closely aligned ChemCom is to these and other state standards.

The seven units of study in ChemCom cover the topics:
1. Water
2. Materials
3. Petroleum
4. Air
5. Industry
