***Who Should Take This Course?***
This course is designed for students who are planning to take AP, IB, Honors, Dual Enrollment, Advanced Chemistry, or General Chemistry next academic year. It is designed to give you an advantage in your higher-level chemistry class by covering review material and giving you a strong foundation before you get started with more challenging material. This class is fast-paced and covers a lot of content each week, so will require some work outside of class- which will be worth it when you're stressing less during the school year! 

***What Will This Course Cover?***
Week 1- Metric Prefixes, Scientific Notation, Dimensional Analysis, and Significant Figures
Week 2- Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table
Week 3- Chemical Bonding
Week 4- Naming Compounds
Week 5- Writing and Balancing Chemical Equations
Week 6- Predicting Products of Chemical Reactions
Week 7- Mole Calculations
Week 8- Stoichiometry 

***How Is This Course Set Up?***
At the start of each week, I will make a post in the classroom with that week's content. Weekly content will consist of:
- a notes handout sheet to take notes on during that week's videos
- practice problems for that week's topic
- links to videos (that I've created) going through that week's concepts
- relevant additional practice including online lab simulations and quizlets to practice memorization of polyatomic ions

There are over 40 course videos totaling approximately 20 hours of video instruction. Handouts and class notes total over 100 pages of printable pdf files. 

**Interaction**
Students have the option to submit their practice problems each week for feedback. Students can get the answer key for the weekly practice problems by messaging me a picture of their completed sheets- this helps with accountability to make sure that they're getting the most out of the course AND lets me see what areas they may need additional help in. I will provide feedback for all submitted work. 

**Why Should I Take A Chemistry Class in the Summer?**
The short answer- because it will make your life easier in the fall! You'll enter your chemistry class more confident and ready to tackle more challenging material- AND have a big advantage over your classmates who didn't do summer preparation.
