Instructor Access (optional grading support) for Unlimited Access families is available for this course!
Continue learning with Part 2 of this foundational chemistry course designed to help students understand basic chemical principles, both in a philosophical and scientific manner. If you would like your non-STEM student to take Apologia chemistry that satisfies the high school chemistry requirement, then this is the course for you.
How to get the most out of Basic Chemistry, Part Two with Inshal Chenet:
-
First, read the course materials below before the first class meeting.
-
Then have a notebook ready and available for class notes each session.
-
Read assignments before class recordings.
-
Watch that week’s recording again if you need to revisit information.
