About the course
This class gives a classroom (non-lab) introduction to the basics of chemistry, including measurement & units, atoms & molecules, atomic structure, molecular structure, polyatomic ions and molecular geometry, stoichiometry, acid-base chemistry, and more.
Students will read the text, completing and checking the On Your Own questions. Parents will sign a sheet each week showing which OYOs have been completed. Each class begins with a brief (5-10 minute) quiz reviewing basic concepts. Every 4 weeks (2 chapters), students will complete an at-home project and an in-class test. The project consists of creating sample questions on given topics.
Note: A typical high school class would go further in depth and contain many labs. Parents will have to decide what labs and additional problems to assign their child in their judgment of what fulfills their educational needs.
