ONLINE CHEMISTRY CLASS DESCRIPTION
Full syllabus and optional lab materials on our website.
This homeschool chemistry course offers an in-depth study of high school-level chemistry fundamentals. While it is designed for older students, younger academically advanced students (ages 13-14) are welcome. My goal is to create an accessible, engaging, and enjoyable experience for all, while still covering all of the major topics in depth. This course will not involve complex chemistry math requiring advanced math courses like Algebra II or Calculus. However, students should be comfortable with Algebra I concepts such as variables, scientific notation, exponents, percentages, decimals, and units. When math is involved, I will clearly detail the steps to ensure understanding. Expect straightforward word problems that reinforce the material without unnecessary complexity and exhausting repetition. Ultimately, this course aims to help students grasp the foundational principles of chemistry, including the necessary math, without getting bogged down in tedious details.
CHEMISTRY COURSE FORMAT
Classes are asynchronous. No live meetings. View lessons on your schedule within the designated timeframe (2 weeks to complete each lesson plan). Expect 1.5-2.5 hours to work through the lesson plan each week, and an additional 2-5 hours working on assignments (depending on the chosen assignment and time management skills).
Each lesson includes a fully narrated PowerPoint presentation, complete with images and videos to enhance the learning experience. Students will use our learning management system, Canvas, to access their lessons, print worksheets, take quizzes, view and submit assignments, participate in discussions, and check grades and instructor feedback.
