1-2 hours per week. Practice problems are given most weeks and are highly encouraged. Homework problems are not scored but are a great way to review the concepts we learn each week. Homework, when given, is submitted each week on Saturday for review and feedback through Outschool messaging.Grading
This course is designed as a summer camp. The practice assignments are encouraged but not required.Class Experience
US Grade 9 - 12
This is an 8-week summer camp that introduces learners to the basic concepts in high school chemistry. We will meet twice a week to learn topics in a fun and engaging way. My goal is to make high school chemistry fun and make it easier in the upcoming school year, whether it's your first or second time taking it. **Please note that this class will not meet the week of July 4th!** My course materials include videos, demonstrations, presentations with guided notes, simulations and virtual labs, and interactive activities. I have a conversational style of teaching that engages each student. Learners can ask questions and interact with the lesson. Students must have completed Algebra I to understand the math in this class fully. They should also have a scientific calculator. And learners should be prepared to keep their notes! This way, they can review them over the next school year. **Classes with less than the minimum number of students enrolled may be combined with other sessions.**
Learning Goals
Learners will be prepared for the basic topics in high school chemistry.

Supply List
Learners will need - a preferred way to take notes, such as Word Dos, Google Docs, or notebook - a pen or pencil (if writing notes) - a calculator, phone calculators will work when turned sideways for scientific notation - a periodic table of elements. I love using the one on PTable.com. - access to a Google account since some activities will use Google Slides or JamBoard.
