Chemistry Made Simple

What you'll learn

Students will be able to describe an atom structurally and functionally.
Students will understand how atoms bond to each other.
Students will understand how to name and write formulas of chemicals.
Students will be able to identify and classify 5 types of chemical reactions.

Requirements

There are no official course requirements. That being said -a grasp of basic mathematics will help, an openness to new ideas, a willingness to practice skills taught, and a little grit and perseverance.

Description

This introductory chemistry course will provide students a basic understanding of the operating mechanisms of chemistry. Any student just starting out in chemistry, currently taking chemistry or just wanting a refresher for chemistry they've forgotten will benefit from these lessons. The atom, bonding, chemical naming and formula writing, chemical reactions (and more) will be included in this course. The course will be lecture based with examples provided during lessons that deepen learning. There will be opportunities to assess knowledge along the way as well. Answer keys will be provided.

Chemistry can be pretty intimidating, as it is one of the most feared courses in science. The good news is that it is also one of the most-loved science courses too (when the fear is gone). I want to provide you with lessons that are understandable, slower paced and will deepen your understanding of the world around you. Thank you for considering this course!

Who this course is for:

This course is for "first-timers", students who want to brush up on long-forgotten science, homeschoolers, test preppers or just people who want to know more about the world around them.
