Intro to Chemistry: Live, Online, Fun, Safe

Like the name says, this course is an intro to chemistry. It’s live (on Zoom), includes a complete video textbook, and it’s super flexible in case you can’t make all the class meetings. Get an intro to chemistry and prepare for success… the easy way!
It’s the perfect starting point or chemistry unit study for learners that have never seen a periodic table. If your learner already knows a bit about chemistry, this course will promote a deeper level of understanding for science. Organizational and study skills are highly emphasized. We cover the topics for middle school chemistry and bridge into high school chemistry fundamentals. Certificate included.
Spring 2021 Schedule: Intro to Chemistry Live
It’s a complete chemistry unit study for those new to chemistry, starting from the beginning. Alternatively, learners familiar with some chemistry basics may join for the later classes. Master all the middle school chemistry topics, feel like a scientist, and see how it all fits together!

These chemistry classes will cover one lesson per week, and meet twice per week. For the first time, Intro to Chemistry is being offered on Mondays and Wednesdays!

Prerequisite: You are ready for this course if you have a general idea of what an atom is and can do simple arithmetic (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division).
Description: You’ll learn about science by using analogies that relate to concepts you already know well, and we’ll show you how to best use the digital materials here to get and keep your brain running at its peak performance level. Most of the math, technical jargon, and complicated chemicals have been removed from the topics so you can truly master the chemistry concepts. We’ll cover all those important, traditional middle school chemistry topics that would be found in a textbook, yet the material has been restructured and reorganized to flow logically and actually make sense to those doing chemistry for the first time. If you already know a bit about chemistry, the unique format of this course will provide a fresh perspective for deeper insights as to how the world is connected by science.
There’s a written assignment, with solutions, for each lesson so that the ideas sink in. You’ll get up to speed with chemistry fast and develop the skills needed to have fun succeeding in future chemistry and science courses. Plan to spend about an hour out of class for each lesson.
The big ideas you’ll be learning:
- Reading the periodic table
- Understanding chemical bonding
- Writing chemical reactions
- Conducting a laboratory experiment
- Gaining confidence approaching science
