夏期集中高校カリキュラム化学（第 1 学期）

In this class students will learn the basics of high school chemistry by looking at  real life examples and examples, videos and labs they can do at home. The class is highly interactive and students are encouraged to ask questions. Students will practice solving equations and reflecting on what they have learned. Students  will also participate in  review games and will be assigned homework and notes. No prior knowledge of chemistry is necessary but some knowledge of basic algebra is needed.

At the end of the 8 weeks a midterm will be given and report cards documenting the student's progress will be available by request.
