Introduction Since main subjects are taught in blocks, it is possible to design a program to meet the developing students’ interests and needs. There are several ways to view the four high school years, ways which supplement and support each other and form the basis of the traditional approach to organizing chemistry and other subjects. We have in addition several general objectives for a chemistry program, namely, to provide a foundation for understanding fundamental chemical concepts and procedures and to do this in a Goethean or phenomenological style. Time limitations place restrictions on the total material and/or depth of the coverage.
