Per WGU's published description, Secondary Chemistry Curriculum synthesizes the core content of the Secondary Chemistry Program, preparing candidates to apply education theory and teaching approaches to the chemistry content areas. The description states the alignment directly: the course aligns with the areas covered by the Chemistry Praxis exam, so candidates demonstrate both a deep understanding of the subject matter and the ability to effectively deliver content in a secondary classroom setting. The named topics: atomic structure, chemical bonding, energy relationships, chemical reactions, solutions, and the role of science and engineering in society. And the description states there are no prerequisites for this course.
Three tables carry it, always as a closer. On both bachelor's tables it sits in term 8: beside D867 Organic Chemistry, D869 Biochemistry I, D873 Laboratory Safety, and D805 Secondary Disciplinary Literacy on the licensure table, the last chemistry row before the clinical and student-teaching terms that always stay with the student, and beside the same content row on the educational studies track. On the Chemistry endorsement program, restricted by the catalog to licensed secondary science teachers, it closes the 23-CU program alone in term 3. The M.A. Teaching, Science Education (Secondary Chemistry) table runs the graduate twin, D872 Secondary Chemistry Curriculum (EDUC 6080, 2 CUs), in its own term 3 with the same description plus one added learning-science sentence, so quote by the code on your audit.
