This 11-week course introduces students to elements, molecules, the periodic table, chemical reactions, and more. Students will have fun learning chemistry in a way that makes sense and creates real-world connections. #academic

Class experience

US Grade 6 - 9
This class is taught in English.
At the end of this course, your student will be able to:
- Create models/drawings to represent the arrangement and charges of subatomic particles in an atom (protons, neutrons, and electrons).
- Distinguish between atoms, elements, molecules, and compounds.
- Use atomic mass, atomic number, and symbol to determine an element's placement on the Periodic Table.
- Investigate the property of density and provide evidence that properties such as density do not change for a pure substance.
- Balance chemical equations to show how the total number of atoms for each element does not change in chemical reactions, and as a result, mass is always conserved in a closed system. (Law of Conservation of Mass.)
- Create Lewis Electron Dot Diagrams for elements and compounds.
- Describe the bonding differences between ionic and covalent bonds.
- Explain the polar nature of water and describe how it gives it unique properties. 
- Investigate the properties of different substances and how they affect their ability to dissolve.
- Using the reaction's chemical equation, identify what will cause a reaction to release (exothermic) or absorb (endothermic) energy. 
- Describe what makes a substance acidic or basic and how to neutralize those substances. 
Homework Offered
I will provide OPTIONAL practice sheets to reinforce concepts from class.
