Class experience
US Grade 7 - 12
This 16-week course is designed to cover the second half of a typical high school level chemistry curriculum. However, this does not mean that interested younger learners should not take this class. Anyone interested in learning about chemistry in an engaging way at their own pace should sign up for this class. Each block of instruction is described below and will include hands-on lab experiments to compliment the material being learned in the class. Each week, a new lesson will be...

I have taught chemistry and chemical engineering at the college level, and have been teaching science to home school elementary, middle and high school students for 10 years. I know how to present science in a fun way to boost students interest in the subject.
Homework Offered
Each week a 1-2 page sheet of practice problems will be given for students to reinforce what they are learning in the class.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Grades Offered
Notes pages for each lesson and practice problems will be provided by the teacher. For any experiements, nearly everything needed is found in a normal kitchen, no special lab equipment or chemicals required.
The labs used in this course to supplement the material are all safe and use things found in a traditional kitchen. No special laboratory equipment or chemicals are needed. Everything can be found around your house or in a grocery store. No harmful substances will be used. At times, the use of the stove to heat water is required, but students will be advised to seek parental supervision when performing any experiments that require use of the stove.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
