Learning Outcomes: conduct an initial product analysis for a given product using limited information explain the logical and systematic order of elements using the periodic table analyze seven families of salts, including name, general formula, hazards and any special rules analyze five families of inorganic non-salts, including name, general formula, hazards and any special rules analyze four families of hydrocarbons, including name, formula, chemical structure, hazards, and any special characteristics analyze the components that comprise all hydrocarbon derivative compounds analyze 13 families of hydrocarbon derivatives, including name, general formula, hazards and any special rules using knowledge of the chemical families, as well as the chemical and physical properties for a given hazardous material, analyze the hazards of the material reinforce key concepts presented in the course and the relationship of those concepts to their own work responsibilities. General Topics: Product analysis and risk assessment The periodic table and atomic structure Salts Inorganic non-salts Hydrocarbons Hydrocarbon radicals, international union of pure and applied chemistry, and functional groups Hydrocarbon derivatives Physical and chemical properties Application activities Course summation The way forward Instruction & Assessment Section 4 Content Section 4 Content Left Section 4 Content Right Instructional Strategies: Case Studies Discussion Learner Presentations Lectures Practical Exercises Methods of Assessment: Examinations Performance Rubrics (Checklists) Presentations Quizzes Supplemental Materials Section 5 Content Section 5 Content Left Section 5 Content Right Equivalencies Section 6 Content Section 6 Content Left Section 6 Content Right Button Content Rail Content 1 Other offerings from U.S. Fire Administration - National Fire Academy (NFA) View All Courses College Credit Opportunities Page Content
