This class is taught in English.
Your student will learn how to: - read and balance chemical equations using the law of conservation of mass. - use specific indicators to identify chemical reactions and describe why they occur. - read the periodic table. - use the periodic table of elements to understand relationships on the table and how they affect bonding. - how to write chemical names. - use Lewis dot structures. They will also understand the following: - the importance of the electromagnetic spectrum in chemistry. - the nature of electrons. - acids and bases - other critical theories in chemistry.
Students will receive practice sheets or digital review questions after classes. The students will have the option to perform an experiment or build a model depending on the week's concept for some classes.
