Week 1
Lesson 1
Scientific Measurements
 Week 2
Lesson 2
Models of the Atom
We’ll discuss the theory of the atom and how scientists arrived at our current model of the atom, the quantum mechanical model.  
 Week 3
Lesson 3
The Periodic Table of Elements
We’ll discuss information about an element that can be gained from the periodic table including the atomic number, the atomic mass, and the number of valence electrons.  We’ll also discuss isotopes and their relation to the atomic mass that is found on the periodic table.
 Week 4
Lesson 4
Mixtures and Compound, Electronic Configuration and Hund’s Rule
We’ll talk about the differences between a mixture, an element, a molecule, and a compound and then discuss two forms of denoting the arrangement of electrons in an atom: electronic configuration and Hund’s rule.
 Week 5
Lesson 5
Chemical Bonding
We’ll talk about why elements combine the way that they do to form ionic bonds, polar covalent bonds, and non-polar covalent bonds. 
 Week 6
Lesson 6
Naming Compounds
We’ll learn how to name ionic compounds with and without metals with a variable valence as well as binary molecular compounds. 
 Week 7
Lesson 7
Chemical Reactions and States of Matter
We will talk about the difference between chemical changes and physical changes.  We will learn how to balance chemical reactions and we will look at exothermic and endothermic reactions.  We’ll also look at the states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas and the transitions between them.  
 Week 8
Lesson 8
Chemical Calculations - Part 1
We’ll discuss the mole and what it means as well as how to determine the molar mass of elements, molecules, and compounds.  We’ll talk about molar ratios given by a chemical equation and how to convert between grams and moles. 
 Week 9
Lesson 9
Chemical Calculations - Part 2
We’ll discuss limiting reactants, theoretical yield, and percent yield and learn how to do calculations involving these. 
 Week 10
Lesson 10
The Gaseous State
We’ll discuss the kinetic-molecular theory of gases and see how to perform calculations using the gas laws. 
 Week 11
Lesson 11
Intermolecular Interactions
We’ll take a look at the interactions that occur between particles and see how they affect the properties of the materials they comprise.  We’ll talk about electronegativity and its effect on intermolecular interactions.  
 Week 12
Lesson 12
Solutions and Solubility
We’ll discuss solutions and the factors that affect solubility and perform calculations using molarity.  We’ll learn how to write net ionic equations and identify the spectator ions.  
 Week 13
Lesson 13
Acids and Bases
We’ll discuss the definitions and properties of acids and bases and take a look at how these properties can be measured.  We’ll distinguish between strong and weak acids and bases and discuss the importance of buffers and the purpose of a titration. 
 Week 14
Lesson 14
Chemical Equilibrium and Reaction Rates
We’ll discuss the concept of chemical equilibrium and talk about the factors that affect the rate of a reaction.  
 Week 15
Lesson 15
Oxidation and Reduction 
We’ll talk about oxidation and reduction reactions and how they can be used to provide electrical energy.  
 Week 16
Lesson 16
Nuclear Chemistry
We’ll discuss radioactivity and half-life as well as the applications of radioactive elements.
