Unlock Your Teen's Scientific Curiosity: High School Chemistry Made Engaging! Help your learner develop a strong foundation in high school chemistry with this full curriculum lab-based class. Often families seek a dynamic and engaging learning experience that fosters a love of science and prepares learners for future academic success. I am an experienced high school chemistry teacher who delivers an interactive and engaging online course complete with labs, review guides, and assessments. Specifically learners will: -Experience dynamic classroom environment: Participate in live online lessons where learners can actively engage in discussions, share ideas, and ask questions. -Conduct hands-on experiments: Explore the world of chemistry through exciting, hands-on laboratory activities. Learners have the option to use the master supply list if they wish to complete the experiments with me. -Environment of Collaboration: Learners will be able to interact and collaborate with classmates during the class. Each will be encouraged to fully participate in each day's activity/experiment. -Access valuable resources: Benefit from a wealth of engaging resources, including informative videos, review guides, challenging practice problems, and live demonstrations that bring chemistry to life. Enroll your learner in this exciting online chemistry course and unlock their scientific potential. Families can gain peace of mind knowing learners are receiving a high-quality science education that is both engaging and effective. Learners will be well-prepared for future academic challenges and empowered to pursue their passions, whether in STEM fields or beyond. Here is a brief schedule of each week.

Optional Textbook: Chemistry- Prentice Hall ISBN-13: 978-0132512107 or ISBN-10: 0132512106
If the parent desires their learner to complete the optional tests, the textbook is a highly recommended resource, as all test will derived to that resource.
Teacher expertise and credentials
2 Degrees
Master's Degree in Science from University of Alabama
Bachelor's Degree in Science from University of South Carolina
I am a middle school and high school math and science teacher with 12 years of experience. Additionally, I am a homeschooling dad of 16 years who has four kids that are four different types of learners.
I have the privilege to teach many subject areas, but chemistry is my favorite as it applies to all other areas of science. My opinion is that if a student understands major chemical concepts, other sciences become more clear.
I hold a MS and BS in the natural sciences.
