Series Details
About
We will begin assuming there is no prior knowledge of chemistry, and the vast majority of the topics of AP Chemistry on Khan Academy are to be covered, though not necessarily in that order.
If learners want a particular topic to be covered it can be requested.
Lectures (with slides shared later) will alternate with practice problems pertinent to the lecture in the session just prior to the practice session. There are review sessions scattered in between. We mainly follow the plan outlined in the 5 steps to a 5 AP Chemistry textbook, supplemented with material from Chemistry, a Molecular Approach.
Learners are not required to get any materials.
✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
You are free to attend/skip whichever sessions you want, would be nice if you messaged, but it is up to you what topics you want to cover.
