In this 12-part course, students will learn the basics of chemistry through the first semester of curriculum.
Class experience
US Grade 9 - 12
Beginner - Intermediate Level
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...
