Welcome to Chemistry I! This course begins a series that we have designed to cover subjects in advanced high school chemistry, correlating to the standard topics as established by the American Chemical Society. We hope the lecture materials, activities, and assessments are useful for exam preparation and remain interesting for curious learners. Within this course we will cover the following topics: atomic structure, periodic trends, compounds, and reactions. For each module, as well as for the Final Assessment, completed at a score of 70% or above, you will earn a badge. Upon completion of the course, you can request a course completion certificate, if you wish!
Cost: This course is free and open for all learners.
Time: Expect to spend an average of four hours a week per module.
Prerequisites: Learners should have a background in basic chemistry including properties and phases of matter, familiarity with units, scientific notation, and the ability to solve basic problems with dimensional analysis.
Required Texts: There are no required texts, but any college level chemistry textbook will be useful.
If you need assistance with the content (typos, errors, cannot access videos or downloads), post to the Content Corrections forum.
If you need assistance with working an example or practice problem, post to the appropriate module forum, making sure to describe the problem with which you need assistance.
Communication: The Chemistry Teaching Team (Allison, Kim, and support team) will be monitoring the Help and module forums and will communicate via Announcements.
