2-4 hours per week. Homework will be a mixture of practice problems, worksheets, interactive practice, simulations, and labs. There will be optional textbook readings if students want this resource to improve their understanding. Students should expect to spend three hours a week on their homework assignments.Assessment
Students will have short assessments every other week. They will also turn in lab reports to demonstrate their understanding of the chemistry concepts of the lab.Grading
Grades are offered per parent request. Students must submit work through the classroom page. A grade document will be shared with the student and parent so they can see how they are progressing through the course.Class Experience

✨New to Outschool? Use code HILAIRE2020 to save $20 on this class!✨ In this self-paced class, students will learn the principles of high school chemistry. Chemistry is a math heavy science, so students are recommended to have a prior knowledge of at least Algebra 1. This class does not have any live meetings. Although this class does not have live meetings, students will interact with myself and the course material. I will post 1-2 instructional videos each week along with guided notes and a textbook resource. Homework and practice problems will be a mixture of worksheets and labs. Students will have assignments each week and will post any questions that they have. They will also video and give an explanation of a problem or lab on Flipgrid. We will also have assessments where students can test their knowledge and receive feedback. Per parent request, I can provide grades for the classwork and assessments if needed for a credit.
Learning Goals
Students will distinguish characteristics between different groups on the periodic table.Students will use gas laws to predict missing variables.
