Give your student the confidence to succeed in one of high school’s most important science courses! This engaging chemistry class uses Chemistry by Master Books to present complex concepts in a clear, approachable way—without sacrificing academic rigor.

In a supportive, small-group environment, students will meet once a week for interactive instruction that breaks down challenging topics into manageable, easy-to-understand steps.

Class time is designed to reinforce learning through guided practice, demonstrations, and hands-on labs, helping students truly grasp the “why” behind the science—not just memorize formulas. At home, students will complete structured assignments that build independence and strengthen problem-solving skills, preparing them for future science courses and beyond.

Parents can feel confident knowing their student is receiving a thorough, Christ-centered science education that emphasizes both critical thinking and real-world application. Whether your student feels intimidated by chemistry or is excited to dive in, this course is designed to equip them for success.

Topics of Study Include:

Atomic structure
The periodic table
Chemical bonding
Chemical reactions
Stoichiometry
States of matter and gases
Thermochemistry
Acids and bases
Solutions and mixtures

During our weekly meetings, students will:

Participate in hands-on laboratory experiments and demonstrations
Practice proper lab safety and technique
Discuss key concepts from the assigned reading
Work through challenging review questions
Develop scientific writing and critical thinking skills through written lab reports

Required Materials:

Chemistry (Teacher Guide and Student Textbook) by Master Books
Student notebook or 3-ring binder (for notes, handouts, and labs)
Loose-leaf paper
Scientific calculator (basic models are sufficient)
Pencils and erasers
Colored pencils or highlighters (for notes and diagrams)

This class is ideal for high school students who need Chemistry as a lab science for high school graduation, but do not need or desire honors Chemistry or a dual-enrollment experience.
