I. COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course will give emphasis on the fundamental concepts and principles of chemistry to provide you an opportunity to appreciate its relevance to societal issues and technological advancement. This course is designed for students like you who intend to apply these principles and methods to other fields particularly in Engineering and Industry. Furthermore this course will also educate you socially, morally, and spiritually by integrating social awareness; thereby providing you ways of solving practical problems of society such as those arising in Industry, Engineering, and Environmental Sciences.

II. LEARNING OUTCOMESExpected Lasallian Graduate Attribute (ELGA)At the end of the course, the students should be able to:

God Loving Exhibit the spirit of Faith in God and in oneself by believing that understanding the characteristics of materials around us make us aware of our responsibilities in protecting our God-given earth. Demonstrate the spirit of Zeal by translating scientific principles and methods to actual everyday experiences. Manifest the spirit of Communion when engaged in your respective professions by showing commitment to social development and collaboration with others.

Has Passion for Excellence Appreciate that atomic development, molecular structures, and models are of prime importance in understanding the characteristics and properties of substances around us. Develop mathematical, critical, and analytical thinking skills by interpreting stoichiometric relationships of chemical equations and relate them in real situations

Patriotic Compare and contrast the physical and chemical characteristics of different substances by studying the environmental problems in the country particularly in the province of Cavite. Evaluate the importance of various theories and principles in solving real-life problems by relating them to observed environmental problems in the country.

III. FINAL PRODUCT/PERFORMANCE TASK Audiovisual /PowerPoint Presentation on Conversion of Residential/Commercial/Industrial Wastes Found in Cavite Area into Useful Engineering Materials

The goal is to present an audiovisual presentation on the conversion of waste materials commonly found in residential/commercial/industrial sites of Cavite and to transform it into a product that can be useful in the field of engineering and technology.

i. You shall make a thorough investigation and research on the different waste materials that can be converted to a more useful product.ii. You shall use different techniques in the preparation of the project such as observations, surveys, group discussions, interviews, experimentation and other appropriate methods.iii. You shall make a presentation of the project and discussion of its relevance/uses in different fields of engineering.The format and rubric for assessment of the final product/performance task should be an agreement between the subject teacher and the students. It will be discussed during the first meeting of the class. Sample rubric is given below:VALID ASSESSMENT OF THE FINAL PRODUCT
