What's included
9 live meetings
7 hrs 30 mins in-class hoursHomework
1 hour per week. The students will have homework after each class. They will be asked recall and open-ended questions where they will have to apply what they learned to correctly answer the question. I ask that the students review what was what they learned every day. Optional: I ask that the students dedicate 20-30 minutes of study time each day.Assessment
The students will be assessed as they engage in discussions and as they interact in a question-answer session at the end of class. The students will periodically be given quizzes and/or formative assessments. This will guide my instruction. I will review what the students need.Class Experience
US Grade 7 - 10
In this 9-week course, students will learn about the history of atoms and atomic principles. The content is covered in the 1st 9-week course in a conventional chemistry class. Engaged students learn content needed to successfully take assessments.
Week 1 - Atomic Model History
Week 2 - Atomic Structure / Subatomic Particles
Week 3 - Introduction to the Periodic Table
Week 4 - Atom - Atomic Charge
- Bohr Model
Week 5 - Chemical Bonding - Covalent
Week 6 - Chemical Bonding - Ionic
Week 7 - Valence Electrons & Isotopes
Week 8 - Isotopes
Week 9 - Isotope Connection to Half-life and Nuclear Power
The students will be able to develop models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules. The students will learn that substances are made from different types of atoms. They will also learn that atoms form molecules that range in size from two to thousands of atoms. This section will be taught using pictures, video clips, slides, discussions, lecture, and open-ended questions. The students will learn that each pure substance has characteristic physical and chemical properties. This section will be taught using pictures, video clips, slides, discussions, lecture, and open-ended questions. The students will also be introduced to half-life and nuclear power. This section will be taught using pictures, video clips, slides, discussions, lecture, and open-ended questions. The 2nd 9-Week Chemistry course will start where this course ends.Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of the composition of the world around them. They will improve their understanding of the periodic table and atoms. Engaged students will improve their ability to respond to Chemistry state assessment questions.
