This course is part 1 in a complete semester chemistry series. I can provide feedback on completed works to help the student and parent decide if they are ready to continue to the next part.Class Experience
US Grade 8 - 10
Beginner Level
The goal for this class is to learn chemistry in a way that is silly, feels rewarding, and encourages confidence in science! If that sounds like it matches with your student, then we will be a great match! This semester course is split into multiple sections for two reasons: 1) Your student may already know the beginnings! If they do, then they can skip the first four lessons and start on some more challenging material! 2) Giving the option for multiple parts allows students to get a taste of my teaching style without committing to the full course! What This Class Is About: We will discuss the basic foundations for chemistry. This will include topics like structure of an atom, organization of the periodic table, Bohr models, and more! Who This Class Is For: This class is for the student stepping into the real world of chemistry for the first time or needs a solid review over the foundations. The purpose of this course is to mimic that of an on-level high school chemistry course. By the end, your student will have a strong understanding of chemistry basics and will be able to apply them to the more difficult topics later on!
Learning Goals
Students will learn about the structure of atoms, including the protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Students will investigate the periodic table of elements and learn about the properties of different elements.
