This is the first semester of a full-year curriculum course designed to engage learners in the concepts of high school chemistry. We will delve into the world of chemistry with hands-on activities and engaging discussions.
Class experience
US Grade 9 - 12
This is the first semester of a full-year curriculum high school chemistry course that introduces students to the basics of chemistry. My goal is to make high school chemistry fun and it easier to grasp difficult concepts through interaction and discussions. 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...
Learners will engage with and learn the basic topics in high school chemistry.
I am a certified science teacher with over 18 years of experience, mostly in high school chemistry, physics, and biology. I have an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry and a doctorate in Education. I love teaching and sharing my love for science with learners!
Homework Offered
Practice problems are given most weeks and are highly encouraged. Homework problems are not scored unless requesting a grade for the course. However, they are a great way to review the concepts we learn each week and are highly encouraged regardless of requesting a final grade. Homework, when given, should be completed and submitted to me each week by Saturday for review and feedback through Outschool messaging. Learners are sometimes provided an optional at-home lab for some topics. While these labs use household items, parental supervision is required when conducting any experiments!2 - 4 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
For learners requesting a grade, grading will consist of paper quizzes, identified homework, identified online labs, and midterm and final exams. At-home and some virtual labs are not scored but are highly recommended to gain a deeper understanding of concepts.Grades Offered
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 of the activities will use Google Slides or JamBoard.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
I use Google Slides for drag-and-drop, labeling, and other interactive activities that I create. These activities allow students to engage with the concepts in a conceptual way, providing the foundation for key concepts. I will provide a paper alternative for assignments that will require printing, cutting, and sorting in some manner. I use Google Docs for the guided notes that accompany the presentations. This format provides a way for students to complete the notes online if they prefer. I also provide the notes in a PDF format for those that prefer to print and complete them. A Google Account will be needed to access the interactive activities and Google Docs. However, a printable alternative is provided for each, making the need for an account optional. To accommodate every learner’s unique needs (food allergies, parental availability for supervision, etc), I use virtual labs and simulations to illustrate specific concepts. PhET labs provide many simulations from the University of Colorado. Explicit instructions are provided for each simulation, complete with images or a video showing each step. An account is not needed to access PhET simulations. PTable.com is an online periodic table that is fun and interactive. No account is required. Kahoot and Quizizz are online quiz games that learners can use to check their understanding. Each review game is set to individual users, providing the opportunity to test their knowledge in a fun and interactive way. No account is required to play Quizizz or Kahoot review games.
