Welcome!
Have you ever wondered, "Why does Chemistry matter if I am not a scientist or an engineer?"
Is Chemistry nothing but hazardous materials?
Chemistry is all around us, in us, and in everything we see, touch and taste!
You have just entered no boring classes zone!
We can do this together.
Chemistry is everywhere and it is my job to show you!
Real Chemistry I have used: Check out my bio and see all the places I have used chemistry. Nuclear Reactors, Submarines, Naval and National Intelligence - even looking for Chemical Weapons.
This is a course for learning about chemistry and its uses in the real world. It is drawn from Regents Chemistry but does not have a Regents Exam at the end. This year we will cover...
- Unit 1 Introduction and the Scientific Method
- Unit 2 Measurements and Chemical Hazards
- Unit 3 Matter and the World Around Me
- Unit 4 Energy and Its Conservation in Chemistry
- Unit 5 Elements, Periodic Table, and Families
- Unit 6 Chemical Bonding, Putting It together
(Don’t Panic at the titles, we will do one step at a time.)
Learning is a social activity. Together we will learn and together we will push the edge of our knowledge outward.
