This course includes five lessons and it will engage students as they learn about chemical reactions in chemistry.  They will learn about and experience chemistry through participating in interactive and engaging activities, which include interactive presentations, hands on activities, EXPERIMENTS, class discussions in the Outschool classroom, peer interaction via Outschool, and sharing work with the instructor for feedback!  We will play weekly games via the Outschool classroom as well!    All of the lessons will be pre-recorded and students will be able to view the lessons via the links that will be shared each week.  They won't want to miss this!
