Aligned with Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
This course provides a great foundation for high school Chemistry curriculum. We will start by introducing atom structure, elements, compounds, ions, isotopes, valence electrons, naming compounds, and types of bonds. We will have a brief look at the types of reactions, the law of conservation of mass, and rules for balancing chemical reactions. Next, we will practice predicting the products of chemical reactions. In the second part of the course, I will teach moles/mass/molecular...
