Introduction to High School Chemistry: 12-Part Beginning Chemistry Course

In every high school curriculum, chemistry is a foundational science that many students find interesting but also quite challenging. This course aims to walk your student through the basic topics of first-year high school chemistry, from the concept of the atom to calculations, such as stoichiometry. 

For each part of this 14-part course, students will receive a video, worksheet, and worksheet key. I will refer to each part as "weeks", however your student can complete the course at any pace throughout the duration.

The topic schedule is as follows:

Part 1 - Chemistry & the Atom
-Chemistry defined 
-Subatomic particles
-Introduction to the Periodic Table

Part 2 - Matter
-Physical vs. chemical properties
-Elements vs. compounds vs. substances
-Mixtures

Part 3 - Measurements in Chemistry
-Scientific notation
-Significant figures

Part 4 - Dimensional Analysis
-Conversions between units

Part 5 - The Periodic Table
-Groups vs. periods
-Metals vs. nonmetals
-Solids, liquids, gases

Part 6 - Ions and Ionic Compounds
-Determining charges
-Writing chemical formulas
-Polyatomic ions

Part 7 - Nomenclature 
-Naming ionic compounds (Type 1 and 2)
-Writing and naming covalent compounds

Part 8 - Chemical Reactions 
-Evidence of a reaction
-Types of chemical reactions

Part 9 - Chemical Equations
-Balancing chemical equations 

Part 10 - The Mole
-Grams, moles, and atoms
-Molar mass

Part 11 - Chemical Composition
-Empirical vs. molecular formulas
-Percent composition

Part 12 - Chemical Quantities
-Mole to mole relationships
-Stoichiometry
