Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
Chemistry is one of the pillars of middle school science. In this course, Introduction to Chemistry II, your student will learn new chemistry concepts through a mix of hands-on experience with classic classroom preparation.

We will break apart each concept, look at the parts, and then put them together to see the whole picture. There will be drawings, hands-on activities, and opportunities to practice concepts for better understanding. Each week will focus on a specific idea, and there will be an opportunity for practice and explore ideas between classes.

Lesson 1 – Lewis Electron Dot Diagrams
We will use our knowledge of the outermost energy level (valence shell) to create Lewis Electron Dot Diagrams!  This shorthand model is used to show ionic and covalent bonding. It emphasizes the attraction between valence electrons in bonding.

Lesson 2 – The Unique Properties of Water
We will explore the polar nature of water. Water is a neutral molecule, but it has slight charges due to its oxygen and hydrogens' arrangement. This gives water some fascinating and unique properties that we will explore together in this lesson.

Lesson 3 - Dissolving – Solids, Liquids, and Gases
We will investigate how different types of liquids dissolve specific kinds of molecules. We will look at how and why water, oil, and alcohol dissolve differently. Students will have the opportunity to watch demos and explore these properties on their own at home.

Lesson 4 – Exothermic and Endothermic Chemical Interactions
We will discuss how the interactions between atoms, ions, and molecules can take in or release heat when they come together. Students will learn molecular reasoning for absorbing or releasing energy. They will be able to predict whether a reaction will be endothermic or exothermic.

Lesson 5– Acid-Base Reactions
We will explore acids and bases. We will learn what makes a solution more acidic or basic, along with the properties of acids and bases. Using this information, we will discuss neutralizing acid and basis and the real-world application.

Learning Goals

At the end of this course, your student will be able to:
- 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.
- Identify what will cause a reaction to release (exothermic) or absorb (endothermic) energy using the reaction's chemical equation. 
- Describe what makes a substance acidic or basic and how to neutralize those substances.

Other Details

Supply List
Guided notes.

Optional: Paper, colored pencils, markers, or pens for notes.

*There will be the option for lab activities at home with simple ingredients and household products. These are not mandatory and will be demoed in a class by the teacher. 

**I will upload a periodic table each student can print and use or bring their own.

Welcome to my Outschool profile! I'm an enthusiastic science educator with a passion for inspiring young minds. With over a decade of teaching experience, I specialize in middle and high school sciences, including chemistry, physics, and biology.

My approach to teaching is all about making science relatable, exciting, and empowering for students. I focus not just on the facts but on teaching them how to think like scientists, solve problems, and use scientific language effectively. This builds their confidence and helps them see science as a skill they can master, opening doors to further exploration and advanced studies.

Whether you're looking for ongoing classes, one-time sessions, or semester-long courses, I offer a range of options to suit your needs. I'm also available for personalized tutoring and test preparation. If you are still looking for a time or topic that fits your schedule, feel free to reach out, and I'll do my best to accommodate you.

Let's embark on a journey of discovery and learning together! I can't wait to share my love for science with your students. Contact me to discuss how we can make science come alive in a way that's meaningful and fun for them. See you in class!
