Intermediate Level
In a homeschool college level chemistry class, students engage in an immersive learning experience that transcends traditional classroom boundaries, fostering a deep understanding of core chemical principles and their real-world applications. The curriculum is meticulously designed to cover complex topics such as kinetic theory, thermodynamics, and intermolecular forces. Utilizing state-of-the-art virtual interactive simulations, learners are empowered to explore molecular structures at the atomic level while developing critical thinking skills essential for scientific inquiry. This innovative approach encourages personalized learning pathways tailored to each student's interests and pace, allowing for a more profound engagement with the material than might be found in conventional educational settings. Additionally, discussions on contemporary issues like sustainability and biochemistry enrich the academic dialogue within this unique environment, preparing students not only for advanced studies but also for informed citizenship in an increasingly science-driven society. Note: This class does not include any actual laboratory experiences but there is a separate 10 week laboratory course that corresponds to the topics in this course.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to apply chemical concepts to solve qualitative and quantitative problems. They will gain proficiency in logical deduction skills through written problems and laboratory work.
