We'll cover a semester of high school chemistry in 12 weeks - note this class pairs with a fall semester
Class experience
Chemistry In The Earth System is a thorough introductory high school Chemistry course, following the Next Generation Science Standards, with inquiry-driven laboratory investigations and an emphasis on scientific argumentation and communication. In a typical high school, this would fulfill one semester’s science requirement (0.5 credit), involving a time commitment of approximately 75-100 hours, depending on learner efficiency. Please note this is the spring semester of the course, and...
This class is taught in English.
Learners will complete a semester of high school Chemistry and be well-prepared for college chemistry classes, including AP Chemistry. Specifically, students will learn how atoms of various elements make everything in the known universe, and how we know what we know.
I am certified to teach Biology in Texas, and Secondary Sciences (middle and high school) in Colorado. I am also certified as a Special Education Generalist in Colorado, and while I haven't gotten the official stamp on my certificate, I also passed the Colorado Teacher Licensing Exams in Health and Agricultural Education. In addition, I have taught AP Environmental Science and AP Biology, as well as Introductory Biology, Algebra, Biochemistry, and Chemistry for high school and undergraduate students.
The Biozone textbook is a foundational text for this course and required for each student. See https://amzn.to/3zu95GC Supplies for laboratories will be listed several weeks in advance.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
My background is in science and science education. We assume that climate change is real and is anthropogenic (human-caused). Oh, yeah, and the Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old. Note: In particular, I insist that evolution and climate change are accepted as facts, but I am certainly happy to discuss WHY these are accepted as facts, and how we came to dismiss alternate explanations. Science is an iterative process, constantly trying to improve itself and its accuracy, and evolution is one of the most supported theories in the world of science today.
BioZone’s Chemistry in the Earth System is a necessary textbook for this course, and it is expected that students will have access to this book, whether purchased or borrowed, paper or electronic. The Amazon link is https://amzn.to/3zu95GC Extraneous resources for investigations will be recommended, but investigations can be done via research instead of personal experimentation.

Howdy do! My name is Melinda K. Dooley, and Biology is the love of my life--right up there with teaching life science to someone else! I have been tinkering with biology since I was a child, formalizing my studies as I got older, but I've...
