化学単元 1: 基礎の探究。

This first unit course (Unit 1) is the first course in a 4-course series that covers all the major Chemistry topics through a sequence of learner-centered, inquiry-based, and teacher-supported activities that use models, investigative questioning, and mathematical relationships to help you discover the wonderful world of Chemistry.  

It is a unique and fun way to learn.  No textbook required.  The provided activities guide you to learn the concepts and the teacher instruction will complement and support the discovery process.  The activities are used with permission from The POGIL Project.  

It is highly recommended to take the courses in order of Unit 1, Unit 2, Unit 3, and then Unit 4.  Each unit will provide important knowledge for the next unit.  Units 2, 3 and 4 are separate courses that you will have to enroll in separately.

In addition to teaching the Unit 1 topics, the Unit 1 course will teach you how to approach the inquiry activities to optimize your learning.
