1-2 hours per week. The power to start your car is furnished by a lead storage battery. How does this battery work, and what does it contain? When a battery goes dead, what does that mean? This class will uncover answers to these questions and more!Assessment
Summative assessments will be optional and available to students. The goal is to provide students with exposure to what a standardized assessment looks like without adding the anxiety that comes with testing. Student achievement will be measured formatively in the form of discussions, and assignments.Class Experience

Students will develop the skills and content necessary to succeed in college level science courses. Major topics covered are atomic structure, bonding, reactions, states of matter, and solutions. About the instructor I come to you with over 15 years of experience in STEM education. I am a certified math and science educator in 6 different States. I am also certified as an AP Chemistry instructor. I hold a Bachelor's Degree of Science with distinguished honors. In addition, I hold a Masters Degree Science Education and Doctorate of Philosophy in Teaching Learning and Culture with a specialization in Science and Mathematics Education. You never stop learning! I became a teacher by choice. Teaching young minds has been one of the best things that has happened to me. I love to learn as much as I love to teach! Class assignments Each lesson is followed by an assignment that will help students to reinforce the concepts learned during class. All assignments are submitted electronically.
