Solving for one unknown in an algebraic equation. Ideally, students should have taken or be currently enrolled in pre-algebra or algebra.
Proficiency with graphing. Students can determine a scale for coordinate axes and properly draw and label axes.
Familiarity with the scientific method and the ability to design simple experiments.
Ability to collect and record data.
Ability to maintain an orderly and safe space for small lab experiments. Small amounts of acids are used and small combustion reactions occur, which require careful and patient attention.
