This is a flexible instructor-led credit recovery chemistry course. Instructors regularly interact with students and provide assistance and feedback on work. This course covers chemistry concepts for credit recovery. Students may work at their own pace to complete the course; students may take up to 15 weeks to complete the course.
This course explores fundamental qualitative and quantitative aspects of chemistry that are typically presented in a high school chemistry course, including chemical reactions, stoichiometry, atomic theory, and states of matter. The course includes a variety of hands-on experiments. In addition, students will explore how chemistry connects to the real-world, with research on innovations in science and events like climate change.
Please note that this course is an abbreviated course. Therefore, the course does not cover a full year’s curriculum with the same depth that is covered in a year-long course. Students are expected to work approximately 8-10 hours per week. In addition, if the student is taking this course for credit recovery or initial credit, it is strongly advised that you check with the student's school to confirm that the topics covered (see course syllabus) match those required by the school. You may also want to confirm with the school the process for receiving credits, which may involve an assessment administered separately by the school.
