This class will cover part 1 of a high school chemistry class. I teach through direct instruction, discussion, small groups, videos, and some independent practice. No previous experience is required but some basic math skills would be helpful such as addition/subtraction, multiplication/division, scientific notation, graphs, and some basic literacy requirements.
Learning Goals
Learn about what atoms are, how they are measured, and how they interactLearn about the configuration of atoms and how they facilitate chemical bonds.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Washington Teaching Certificate in Science
Before I was a science teacher I worked as a molecular biologist. It was a rewarding experience but what I was really interested was working as a teacher. It was the best decision I could have made. I really love hanging out with my students and teaching them science. I'm looking forward teaching a broader range of things to a different kinds of kids. I've been a brick and mortar science teacher now for a number of years and I've been teaching on Outschool since spring of 2020. I have a bachelors in science from Andrews University, a masters in molecular biology from Tulane University, and a masters in teaching from USC. Reviews
